1 Chronicles 2:18

16 Now their sisters were Zeruiah and Abigail. ^aAnd the sons of Zeruiah were Abishai, Joab, and Asahel—three.

17 Abigail bore Amasa; and the father of Amasa was Jether the Ishmaelite.

The Family of Hezron

18 Caleb the son of Hezron had children by Azubah, his wife, and by Jerioth. Now these were her sons: Jesher, Shobab, and Ardon.

19 When Azubah died, Caleb took ^aEphrath as his wife, who bore him Hur.

20 And Hur begot Uri, and Uri begot ^aBezalel.

21 Now afterward Hezron went in to the daughter of ^aMachir the father of Gilead, whom he married when he was sixty years old; and she bore him Segub.

22 Segub begot ^aJair, who had twenty-three cities in the land of Gilead.

1 Chronicles 2:18

In the remainder of this chapter the writer obtains scarcely any assistance from the earlier Scriptures, and must have drawn almost entirely from genealogical sources, accessible to him, which have since perished.

Azubah was Caleb' s wife; Jerioth his concubine. He had children by both; but those of Azubah are alone recorded.
