What does 1 Chronicles 8:9 mean?
Adam Clarke's Commentary
Verse 9 He begat of Hodesh his wife - In the preceding verse it is said that Hushim and Baara were his wives; and here it is said he begat of Hodesh his wife, etc. And then his children by Hushim are mentioned, but not a word of Baara! It is likely therefore that Hodesh was another name for Baara, and this is asserted by the Targum: And he begot of Baara, that is Chodesh, his wife; so called because he espoused her anew. It is supposed that he had put her away before, and now remarried her.

Hodesh.In the preceding verse it is said that "Hushim and Baara were
his wives;" and here it said, "he begat of Hodesh his wife,"
etc; and then in the eleventh verse, his children by Hushim
are mentioned, but not a word of Baara. It is probable,
therefore, that Hodesh was another name for Baara; and this is
asserted by the Targumist: "And he begat of Baara, that is, of
Chodesh, his wife, so called because he espoused her anew."
