Who is husband_of_Hammolecheth in the Bible?
The husband of Hammolecheth is never named in the Bible, though he is identified indirectly in 1 Chronicles 7:18 as the father of three children: Ishhod, Abiezer, and Mahlah. Hammolecheth, whose name means "the queen," was herself a notable figure as the sister of Gilead and a descendant of the tribe of Manasseh.
