Two women named Mahalath appear in the genealogies. One was a daughter of Ishmael whom Esau married, apparently also called Bashemath, in an attempt to please his parents after his earlier marriages to Canaanite women displeased them (Genesis 28:9; 36:3). The other was a granddaughter of David, daughter of Jerimoth, who became one of Rehoboam's wives (2 Chronicles 11:18).
