(1.) The daughter of Ishmael, the last of Esau's three wives (Ge 36:3-4,13), from whose son Reuel four tribes of the Edomites sprung. She is also called Mahalath (Ge 28:9). It is noticeable that Esau's three wives receive different names in the genealogical table of the Edomites (Ge 36) from those given to them in the history (Ge 26:34; 28:9).
(2.) A daughter of Solomon, and wife of Ahimaaz, one of his officers (1Ki 4:15).

1. The Hittite Elon's daughter; wife of Esau (Ge 26:34). Called Adah in the genealogy of Edom (Ge 36:2-3). (See ADAH.) Bashemath is doubtless a name of praise conferred on her at marriage.
2. Ishmael's daughter; the last of Esau's three wives according to the Edomite genealogy inserted by Moses (Ge 36:3-4,13). From her son Reuel four Edomite tribes descended. Called MAHALATH in the narrative, Ge 28:9. Esau's Seirite wife, called Judith daughter of Beeri in the narrative (Ge 26:34), is called Arolibamah (the name of a district in Idumaea) the genealogy (Ge 36:41). (See AROLIBAMAH.)
3. Solomon's daughter, married to Ahimaaz, one of his commissariat officers (1Ki 4:15).

Bash'emath
One of the wives of Esau, the daughter of Ishmael and the mother of Reuel. Ge 36:3-4. In the earlier narrative, Ge 26:34; 28:9, the names of Esau's wives differ from those given in Ge 36:2-3. The women may have had two names, or another name have been given them on their marriage. It appears probable that Bashemath, daughter of Elon, is the same as ADAH, daughter of Elon; and that Bashemath, daughter of Ishmael, is the same as MAHALATH, daughter of Ishmael. JUDITH, daughter of Beeri, may be the same as AHOLIBAMAH, daughter of Anah, if Beeri is her father's name and Anah her mother's.
