About Ishma
Ishma is mentioned briefly in a genealogy of the descendants of Judah (1Ch.4.3). He is listed as one of the sons of Hur along with Jezreel and Idbash, though the text is difficult to interpret. The genealogy is focused on the clans and families within the tribe of Judah, and Ishma is included as part of this lineage. No further details are provided about his life, actions, or role within the clan. The name Ishma is the only information given in the text.
