Abiah Summary STEPBible TIPNR

Abiah was the wife of Hezron who bore Ashhur after her husband's death.

Abiah Article STEPBible TIPNR

Abiah or Abijah is mentioned briefly in 1Ch 2:24 as the wife of Hezron. The text states that Hezron's wife Abijah boor Abiah bore Ashhur to him after his death. The Hebrew is difficult, so it is uncertain whether Hezron died in Caleb-ephrathah or whether this refers to Caleb and his wife Ephrathah,. This suggests that Abiah was conceived before Hezron's death but was born posthumously. Abiah is listed within the genealogy of the tribe of Judah, but no other information is provided about her life or descendants.
