Jehudijah (or the Judahite) was the wife of Mered and the mother of Jered, Heber, and Jekuthiel, as recorded in the genealogy of Judah.
Jehudijah, meaning 'the Judahite woman,' was the wife of Mered and the mother of Jered, Heber, and Jekuthiel, according to the genealogy of Judah in 1 Chronicles 4:18. She is named in contrast to Mered's other wife, Bithiah the daughter of Pharaoh, a structural feature of the genealogy that distinguishes between Mered's Judahite and Egyptian wives. As the mother of the founders of Gedor, Soco, and Zanoah, Jehudijah is credited with establishing three recognized Judahite family lines or towns.
