Hastings
1. One of the wives of Esau. In Ge 26:34 (Priestly Narrative) she is called the daughter of Elon the Hittlte, while in Ge 36:3 (prob. Redactor) she is said to have been Ishmael's daughter, and sister of Nebaioth. But in Ge 28:9 (Priestly Narrative) Esau is said to have taken Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife; and in Ge 36:2 the first mentioned of Esau's wives is Adah, the daughter of Elon the Hittite. There is manifestly a confusion of names in the text, which cannot be satisfactorily explained. 2. A daughter of Solomon, who became the wife of Ahimaaz, one of the king's officers (1Ki 4:15).
