Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Ezra: Ezra seems to be the person before called Asareel in 1 Chronicles 4:16.
and she bare Miriam: It is probable that the latter part of 1 Chronicles 4:18, should be transposed before this passage, which Michaelis thinks is its right place; for otherwise we have the pronoun she without an antecedent, and children born without their father's being mentioned.
Eshtemoa: 1 Chronicles 4:19, 1 Chronicles 6:57, Joshua 15:50, Eshtemoh, 1 Chronicles 21:24, 1 Samuel 30:28

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the sons of Ezra,.... Who was perhaps the son of Asareel, last mentioned:
Jether, and Mered, and Epher, and Jalon; only one of them, Mered, is after mentioned:
and she bare Miriam; which is not the name of a woman, but of a man, as Kimchi observes; and, according to him, his mother was the wife of Mered, which he gathers from the next verse; though she seems to be the wife of Ezra, who bare him other sons:
and Shammai, and Ishbah the father of Eshtemoa; a prince of a city in the tribe of Judah, so called, Joshua 15:50.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
She bare Miriam - Rather, “she conceived.” The mother is not mentioned, and it seems impossible to restore the original text with any certainty.
