2:18 Caleb son of Hezron fathered sons by his wife Azubah (also known as Jerioth). 1 Her sons were Jesher, Shobab, and Ardon. 2:19 When Azubah died, Caleb married 2 Ephrath, who bore him Hur. 2:20 Hur was the father of Uri, and Uri was the father of Bezalel.
2:21 Later 3 Hezron had sexual relations with 4 the daughter of Makir, the father of Gilead. (He had married 5 her when he was sixty years old.) She bore him Segub.
1 tn Heb “and Caleb son of Hezron fathered [children] with Azubah, a wife, and with Jerioth.” Jerioth could be viewed as a second wife (so NLT; cf. also NASB, NIV, NRSV), but the following context mentions only “her [presumably Azubah’s] sons.” Another option, the one chosen in the translation, is that Jerioth is another name for Azubah.
2 tn Heb “took for himself.”
3 sn This means “later” in relation to the births of the three sons (Jerahmeel, Ram and Caleb) mentioned in v. 9.
4 tn Heb “Hezron went to.”
5 tn Heb “he took,” referring to taking in marriage.
