Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the sons of Jerahmeel, the firstborn of Hezron, were Ram the firstborn,.... So called by his father after the name of his brother, see 1 Chronicles 2:9

and Bunah, and Oren, and Ozem, and Ahijah; or "of Ahijah", as some r render it, this being the name of his wife, who bare him the sons before named, since mention is made of another wife in the next verse.

r Junius, Tremellius, Piscator, Michaelis.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And Ahijah - There is no “and” in the original. Hence, some would read: “the sons” were born “of” or “from Ahijah,” the first wife of Jerahmeel (see the next verse).
