• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 17She bare Miriam - Rather, “she conceived.” The mother is not mentioned, and it seems impossible to restore the original text with any certainty.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 9-20The exact family trees of Judah's remaining descendants are unknown. The Chronicler likely had incomplete information.Read the comment

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.Read the comment
