Beloved, the Kenite, has been usually identified with Jethro (q.v.), Exodus 18:5,27; Compare Numbers 10:29,30 . In Judges 4:11 , the word rendered "father-in-law" means properly any male relative by marriage (Compare Genesis 19:14 , "son-in-law," A.V.), and should be rendered "brother-in-law," as in the RSV His descendants followed Israel to Canaan (Numbers 10:29 ), and at first pitched their tents near Jericho, but afterwards settled in the south in the borders of Arad (Judges 1:8-11,16 ).
