1 Chronicles 4:11-12

It has been conjectured from the strangeness of all the names in this list, that we have here a fragment of Canaanite record, connected with the family of the "Shua," whose daughter Judah took to wife I Chronicles 2:3; Genesis 38:2, and whose family thus became related to the tribe of Judah.
