Where Hirah appears in Scripture

Genesis 38

וַֽיְהִי בָּעֵת הַהִוא וַיֵּרֶד יְהוּדָה מֵאֵת אֶחָיו וַיֵּט עַד-אִישׁ עֲדֻלָּמִי וּשְׁמוֹ חִירָֽה׃
1
And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
וַיִּרְבּוּ הַיָּמִים וַתָּמָת בַּת-שׁוּעַ אֵֽשֶׁת-יְהוּדָה וַיִּנָּחֶם יְהוּדָה וַיַּעַל עַל-גֹּֽזֲזֵי צֹאנוֹ הוּא וְחִירָה רֵעֵהוּ הָֽעֲדֻלָּמִי תִּמְנָֽתָה׃
12
And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
