Translation commentary on 1 Chronicles 1:21

The descendants of Hadoram and Uzal may have lived in what is modern Yemen.

Diklah may be connected with a place where date palms grew, since the Hebrew name here probably means “date palm.” Diklah may have been the name of an oasis in the area now known as Yemen.
