1 Chronicles 2:9

2:9 The sons born to Hezron:

Jerahmeel, Ram, and Caleb.

1 Chronicles 2:18-19

Caleb’s Descendants

2:18 Caleb son of Hezron fathered sons by his wife Azubah (also known as Jerioth). Her sons were Jesher, Shobab, and Ardon. 2:19 When Azubah died, Caleb married Ephrath, who bore him Hur.


tn The Hebrew text has “Celubai,” but see v. 18, where Caleb is described as the son of Hezron.

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.

tn Heb “took for himself.”
