Verse 12
"And in process of time Shua's daughter, the wife of Judah died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheep-shearers to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite."
There would appear to be something of a sinister nature in Judah's close connection with the pagan Hirah, the whole context favoring the thought that Judah and Hirah were "on the town" in an unfavorable sense. Sure, Judah "went up" to Timnah, but the altitude of his spirituality remained low. "This cannot be the Danite Timnah, for it is even lower than Abdullam,"[23] and it is usually identified as, "The Timnah of Joshua 15:57, the modern Tibne, some ten miles west of Bethlehem."[24]
