Helah

Helah is one of two wives of Ashhur the father of Tekoa, named in the Judahite genealogies of Chronicles. The text gives only her household and the children she bore.

A Wife of Ashhur, Mother of Three

The roster of Judah's clans pauses on Ashhur and his two-wife household: "And Ashhur the father of Tekoa had two wives, Helah and Naarah" (1Ch 4:5). The genealogy then itemizes each wife's offspring in turn — Naarah's sons first, then Helah's: "And the sons of Helah were Zereth, Izhar, and Ethnan" (1Ch 4:7). She is named only in this short cluster of verses, identified by her husband's place (Tekoa) and by the three sons she bore him.
