Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Chronicles 8:8

8 And Shaharaim begat children in the country of Moab , after he had sent them away. Hushim and Baara were his wives .

Whither he had removed himself either at the same time when Elimelech did, Ruth 1. 1, &c. or upon the same or like Occasion.

Ehud or Gera last mentioned.

Others joyn these Words with the former and render the Place thus, after he had sent them (to wit, his Sons) away, with Hushim and Baara his wives, i. e. as he also sent his Wives away from him. Which may be here mentioned as a Brand upon him, to shew that he was without natural Affection to his Wives and Children. And it seems the more probable that he divorced them, because we find him married to another Wise, v. 9.
