Bithiah, daughter of one of the Pharaohs, who married Mered, descendant of Judah. Scholars have been unable to determine whether this Pharaoh was an Egyptian king or a Hebrew who bore the name of Pharaoh. (The name of Bithiah, it is conceded, seems to mean one who has become converted to the worship of God.) This would favor the supposition that as the daughter of an Egyptian king she had been converted to faith in God. The text is somewhat confused, but in all probability Bithiah was a woman of some distinction.
( His wife Jehudijah bore Jered the father of Gedor, Heber the father of Sochoh, and Jekuthiel the father of Zanoah.) And these were the sons of Bithiah the daughter of Pharaoh, whom Mered took. 1 Chronicles 4:18
