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.

POSTERITY OF CALEB. (1Ch. 2:18-55)

Caleb the son of Hezron—The notices concerning this person appear confused in our version. In I Chronicles 2:19 he is said to be the father of Hur, whereas in I Chronicles 2:50 he is called "the son of Hur." The words in this latter passage have been transposed in the copying, and should be read thus, "Hur the son of Caleb."

begat children of Azubah his wife, and of Jerioth—The former was his spouse, while Jerioth seems to have been a secondary wife, and the mother of the children whose names are here given. On the death of his principal wife, he married Ephrath, and by her had Hur [I Chronicles 2:19].
