("fragrant".).
1. The Hittite Elon's daughter; wife of Esau (Gen_26:34). Called Adah in the genealogy of Edom (Gen_36:2-3). (See ADAH.) Bashemath is doubtless a name of praise conferred on her at marriage.
2. Ishmael's daughter; the last of Esau's three wives according to the Edomite genealogy inserted by Moses (Gen_36:3-4; Gen_36:13). From her son Reuel four Edomite tribes descended. Called MAHALATH in the narrative, Gen_28:9. Esau's Seirite wife, called Judith daughter of Beeri in the narrative (Gen_26:34), is called Arolibamah (the name of a district in Idumaea) the genealogy (Gen_36:41). (See AROLIBAMAH.)
3. Solomon's daughter, married to Ahimaaz, one of his commissariat officers (1Ki_4:15).

Bashemath
(Heb. Basmath', בִּשְׂמִת, elsewhere more correctly Anglicized “Basmath,” q.v.), the name of two females.
1. A daughter of Ishmael, the last married (B.C. 1926) of the three wives of Esau (Gen_36:3-4; Gen_36:13), from whose son, Reuel, four tribes of the Edomites were descended. When first mentioned she is called Mahalath (Gen_28:9); while, on the other hand, the name Bashemath is in the narrative (Gen_26:34) given to another of Esau's wives, the daughter of Elon the Hittite. It is remarkable that all Esau's wives receive different names in the genealogical table of the Edomites (Genesis 36) from those by which they have been previously mentioned in the history. Thus:
GENEALOGY. NARRATIVE.
(Gen_36:2-3.) (Gen_26:34; Gen_28:9 )
1. Adah, daughter of Elon. 2. Bashemath, d. of Elon.
2. Aholibamah, d. of Anah. 1. Judith, d. of Beeri.
3. Bashemath, d. of Ishmael. 3. Mahalath, d. of Ishmael.
Whatever be the explanation of this diversity of names, there is every reason for supposing that they refer to the same persons respectively, and we may well conclude with Hengstenberg that the change of all the names cannot have arisen from accident; and, farther, that the names in the genealogical table, which is essentially an Edomitish document, are those which these women respectively bore as the wives of Esau (Hengstenberg, Auth. d. Pent. 2:277; English transl. 2:226). This view is confirmed by the fact that the Seirite wife, who is called Judith in the narrative, appears in the genealogical account under the name of Aholibamah (q.v.), a name which appears to have belonged to a district of Idumaea (Gen_36:41). The only ground for hesitation or suspicion of error in the text is the occurrence of this name Bashemath both in the narrative and the genealogy, though applied to different persons. The Samaritan text seeks to remove this difficulty by reading Mahalath instead of Bashemath in the genealogy. We might with more probability suppose that this name (Bashemath) has been assigned to the wrong person in one or other of the passages; but if so, it is impossible to determine which is erroneous. SEE ESAU.
2. A daughter of Solomon and wife of one of his officers (1Ki_4:15, A.V. “BASMATH”).
