1 Chronicles 2:18-19

Caleb’s Descendants

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.

1 Chronicles 2:48

2:48 Caleb’s concubine Maacah bore Sheber and Tirhanah.

[2:18]  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.

[2:19]  ² tn Heb “took for himself.”
