Jarha

JARHA. (jar'ha). An Egyptian slave of Sheshan, a Jerahmeelite (1Chr.2.34-1Chr.2.35). Since Sheshan had no son, he gave Jarha his freedom so he could marry one of Sheshan’s daughters. Jewish sources claim him as a proselyte. That Ahlai (1Chr.2.31) was the wife seems probable, though the name is masculine. Another theory is that Ahlai is the name given Jarha when he was set free.
