1 Chronicles 2:18
Caleb <03612> [A.M. 2534, etc. B.C. 1470, etc. Caleb.]
Caleb, [Kƒlˆb, <\\See definition 03612\\>,] is the same as Chelubai, [Kel–wbay <\\See definition 03621\\>,]; the latter simply having a [Vƒv,] {wav} inserted, and a [Y“de,] {yood} affixed. This person must have lived some time before Israel left Egypt; for Bezaleel, the principal person employed in constructing the tabernacle, was his grandson.
[Chelubai.]
1 Chronicles 2:42
Caleb <03612> [Caleb.]
This was not Caleb the son of Jephunneh, but Caleb the son of Hezron, and therefore called the brother of Jerahmeel: See the parallel texts:
[Chelubai.]
firstborn <01060> [his first-born.]
father .......... father <01> [the father. i.e, the founder.]
Or, as the Targum renders, "the prince of the Ziphites;" for it was usual to call both the founder and the prince of a city its father.
Ziph <02128> [Ziph.]
father .......... father ... Hebron <01 02275> [the father of Hebron.]
1 Chronicles 2:46
Caleb's <03612> [Caleb's.]
1 Chronicles 2:49
father ... Madmannah ..... father <01 04089> [the father of Madmannah.]
Madmannah was a city situated in the southern part of Judah, and towards Gaza, according to Eusebius. .# Jos 15:31 Isa 10:31
[Madmenah. Gibea.]
It is probable this was not Gibeah of Benjamin, and the royal residence of Saul, but Gibeah in the tribe of Judah, to which all these other cities belonged.
[Gibeah.]
