Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909
The Jewess wife of Mered, as distinguished from Bithiah, his Egyptian wife (1Ch_4:17-19). (See BITHIAH.) Bertheau simply transposes "these are the sons of Bithiah the daughter of Pharaoh whom Mered took," and puts the clause after "Jalon." Thus, "she" refers to Bithiah, "and she bore Miriam," etc.; whereas in the common text "she" has none to refer to. Also thus the sons come regularly after their respective mothers. The margin of 1Ch_4:19 identifies Hodiah with Jehu; but Keil remarks that the construct state, eeshet, before Hodiah, shows it to be a man's name, "the sons of Hodiah's wife" (not of his wife Hodiah), the sister of Naham. Of her sons, Jered was father (founder) of Gedor and Heber father (founder) of Socho, etc. (See GEDOR; SOCHO.)
Fausset's Bible Dictionary
By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.
Jehudi'jah. (the Jewess). There is really no such name in the Hebrew Bible as that, which our Authorized Version exhibits at 1Ch_4:18. If it is a proper name at all, it is Ha-jehudijah, like Hammelech, Hak-koz, etc.; and it seems to be rather an appellative, "the Jewess".

Jehudijah
(Heb. Yehudiyah', יְהוּדַיָּה, [with the art., the], Jewess, as in the Engl. margin; Sept. Ι᾿δία v. Αδία,Vulg. Judaja), a female named as the second wife, apparently of Mered, and mother of several founders of cities in Judah (1Ch_4:18); probably the same with HODIAH in the ensuing verse, mentioned as the sister of Naham, etc. The latter name is possibly by a corruption of ha-Yehudiyah. SEE MERED. B.C. cir. 1612.
