1 Chronicles 4:22

and Joash, and Saraph, whoetc.] Targ. "and Joash who is Mahlon and Seraph who is Chilion who took wives of the daughters of Moab" (cp. Ruth 1:2; Ruth 1:4). There is little to be said for the identification, which rests on the fact that the Hebrew word for had dominionmight be translated married. We find no other trace of these two as rulers of Moab.

and Jashubi-lehem Vulg. who returned to Bethlehem, a translation which requires only an easy emendation of the present Hebrew text. Mahlon and Chilion did notreturn. Joash and Saraph may have retired to Moab either (like Mahlon and Chilion) because of a famine, or to escape foreign oppression, e.g. that of the Chaldeans, married wives there, and subsequently returned to their own country.

these are ancient things R.V. the records are ancient.
