I believe that Adah and Basemath are sisters (Hethites, Hittites), both daughters of Elon the Hittite. They have different children. Based on Genesis 26:34, Genesis 36:2-3
Basemath is not the daughter of Ishmael. Mahalath is the daughter of Ishmael. Based on Genesis 28:9. She is the sister of Ishmael's first son. Aholibamah or Oholibamah is not the same Judith. Oholibamah is the daughter of Anah, the Hivite. Judith is daughter of Beeri the Hittite. Based on Genesis 36:2 and Genesis 26:34. I believe that Esau had 5 wives. The Hittites and those connected with Seir when he moved away from Canaan. I may be wrong but this is what I think.
