2:5 The sons of Perez:
Hezron and Hamul.
2:18 Caleb son of Hezron fathered sons by his wife Azubah (also known as Jerioth). 1 Her sons were Jesher, Shobab, and Ardon.
2:50 These were the descendants of Caleb.
The sons 2 of Hur, the firstborn of Ephrath: 3
Shobal, the father of Kiriath Jearim,
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.
1 tn Heb “son.” The Hebrew text has the singular, but the following list contains more than one name.
2 tn The Hebrew text reads “Ephrathah” here, but see v. 19, which mentions “Ephrath” as the wife of Hur.
