1 Chronicles 1:36 names Timna among the sons of Eliphaz, with Teman, Omar, Zephi, Gatam, Kenaz, and Amalek, and 1:39 says that Timna was Lotan’s sister. Genesis 36:12 says that Timna was concubine to Eliphaz, and that she bore Amalek to Eliphaz. This collection holds the Timna of 1:36 and of 1:39 under its one entry for Timna of Genesis, writes no relationship between Eliphaz and Timna from 1:36, and keeps the relationship between Timna and Amalek that Genesis 36:12 gives. The text does not say how 1:36, which names Timna among the sons of Eliphaz, and Genesis 36:12, which calls her concubine to Eliphaz, fit together, and the collection does not decide it.
