| In the post-exilic period, of course, Judahite priests of the family of Jedaia (Ezra 2:36) assumed status and power in the rebuilt Temple. Other mixed marriages reported without censure from the tribe of Judah include Judah himself with Bath-shua, a Canaanite (1 Chr 2:3); Jether the Ishmaelite with Abigail the sister of David (1 Chr 2:17); David with Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur (1 Chr 3:2); a Judahite Mered with Bithiah the daughter of Pharaoh (1 Chr 4:18); (8) and some of the descendants of Judah's son Shelah with Moabites (1 Chr 4:22). Because her brother-in-law would not fulfill the Levirate law by marrying his brother's widow to make him progeny, Boaz, an eligible relation, stepped in and fulfilled the Levirate obligation for the sake of Elimelech's Judahite family. |
