Chozeba. Some think this was Chezib (Gen. 38:5). The name survives in Khirbet Kuweizibeh, northwest of Hebron; it was more likely nearby Khirbet ed-Dilb.

Dominion in Moab. This phrase may refer to the subjugation of Moab by two chieftains of Judah. Some suggest that it may refer to intermarriage with Moab, since the verb here translated “had dominion,” ba‘al, also means “to marry” (see Gen. 20:3; Deut. 21:13; etc.). For the use of the verb in the sense of ruling see Isa. 26:13.
