BASEMATH.—1. One of the wives of Esau. In Gen_26:34 (P [Note: Priestly Narrative.] ) she is called the daughter of Elon the Hittlte, while in Gen_36:3 (prob. R [Note: Redactor.] ) she is said to have been Ishmael’s daughter, and sister of Nebaioth. But in Gen_28:9 (P [Note: Priestly Narrative.] ) Esau is said to have taken Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife; and in Gen_36:2 the first mentioned of Esau’s wives is Adah, the daughter of Elon the Hittite. There is manifestly a confusion of names in the text, which cannot be satisfactorily explained. 2. A daughter of Solomon, who became the wife of Ahimaaz, one of the king’s officers (1Ki_4:15).
