Jarha
An Egyptian servant of Sheshan who married his master's daughter and became an ancestor of the tribe of Judah.
Jarha was an Egyptian servant who was given Sheshan's daughter, Ahlai, in marriage. Through this union, he was integrated into the genealogy of the tribe of Judah, specifically within the line of Jerahmeel. His inclusion in the Chronicler's record highlights the expansion of the covenant community beyond ethnic boundaries through marriage and incorporation.
