Jada was the son of Onam (verse 28).

And Jether died childless: Childless is the same expression as in verse 30 and the same difference in meaning is found in the existing modern translations. Some speak more generally of there being no “children”; and others speak more specifically of the absence of “sons.” See the discussion of this problem at verse 30.
