What does 1 Chronicles 4:17 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 4:17-18
17-18. she bare Miriam--It is difficult, as the verses stand at present, to see who is meant. The following readjustment of the text clears away the obscurity: "These are the sons of Bithiah the daughter of Pharaoh, which Mered took, and she bare Miriam, and his wife Jehudijah bare Jezreel," &c.
