JARHA.An Egyptian slave who married the daughter of his master Sheshan (1Ch_2:34 f.).
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909
An Egyptian; servant or slave of Sheshan of Judah, about the time of Eli; married Sheshun's daughter Ahlai, Sheshun having no sons (1Ch_2:34). An extraordinary occurrence. Jarha was forefather of a chief house of the Jerahmeelites, which lasted at least until Hezekiah's time, and of which sprung Zabad and Azariah. (See ZABAD; AZARIAH.) Ahlai's descendants were called after her, as Joab, Abishai, and Asahel are called "the sons of Zeruiah" (1Ch_2:16). It is an undesigned coincidence, confirming the Bible record, that the Jerahmeelites dwelt on the S. of Judah nearest Egypt, so that an Egyptian servant might naturally be in a Jerahmeelite family, such as Sheshan's was (1Sa_27:10).

Jar'ha. The Egyptian servant of Sheshan, about the time of Eli, to whom his master gave his daughter and heir in marriage; 1Ch_2:34-35. (B.C. before 1491).

jar?ha (ירחע, yarḥā‛, meaning unknown): An Egyptian slave of Shesham, about Eli's time (compare HPN, 235), who married his master's daughter, and became the founder of a house of the Jerahmeelites (1Ch_2:34).

Jar?ha the Egyptian slave of a Hebrew named Sheshan, who married the daughter of his master, and was, of course, made free. As Sheshan had no sons, his posterity is traced through this connection (1Ch_2:34-41), which is the only one of the kind mentioned in Scripture. Jarha was doubtless a proselyte, and the anecdote seems to belong to the period of the sojourn in Egypt, although it is not easy to see how an Egyptian could there be slave to an Israelite.

Jarha
(Heb. Yarcha', יִרְחָע, etymology unknown, but probably Egyptian; Sept. Ι᾿ωχήλ, Vulg. Jaraa), the Egyptian slave of a Hebrew named Sheshan, who married the daughter of his master, and was, of course, made free. As Sheshan had no sons, his posterity is traced through this connection (1Ch_2:34-41), which is the-only one of the kind mentioned in Scripture. Jarha thus became the founder of a chief house of the Jerahmeelites, which continued at least to the time of king Hezekiah, and from which sprang several illustrious persons, such as Zabad in the reign of David, and Azariah in the reign of Joash (1Ch_2:31 sq), B.C. prob. ante:1658. Kitto. It is supposed by some that the name of Sheshan's daughter whom Jarha married was Ahlai, from the statement in 1Ch_2:31, compared with that in 1Ch_2:34; but the masculine form of the word, and the use of Ahlai elsewhere (1Ch_11:41) for a man, is adverse to this conclusion. As Sheshan's oldest grandson by this marriage was called Attai, and as the genealogy would run through him, it is supposed by others that Ahlai is a clerical error for Attai; while others think Ahlai (אחלי, disjoiner, from אחל) was a name given to Jarha on his incorporation into the family of Sheshan.
Others conjecture that Ahlai was a son of Sheshan, born after the marriage of his daughter. At what time this marriage occurred we cannot certainly determine, but as Sheshan' was the seventh in descent from Hezron, the grandson of Judah, it could not well have been much later than the settlement in Canaan (B.C. 1612), and on the presumption that there are no lacunae in the pedigree, it would naturally fall much prior to the Exode (B.C. 1658). In 1Sa_30:13, mention is made of an Egyptian who was servant to an Amalekite, and there is no reason why it should seem strange that an Egyptian should also be found in the family of a Hebrew, especially as, being a Jerahmeelite, he had (supposing the event to have occurred in Palestine) his possessions in the same district as the Amalekites, in the south of Judah, nearest to Egypt (1Sa_27:10; comp. 2Sa_23:20-21; Jos_15:21; 1Ch_15:18). See Burrington's Geneal.; Beeston, Genealogy; Hervey's Geneal. p. 34; Bertheau on 1Ch_2:24, etc.). SEE SHESHSAN.
