1 Chronicles 2:18

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.

1 Chronicles 7:15

7:15 Now Makir married a wife from the Huppites and Shuppites. ²  (His sister’s name was Maacah.)

Zelophehad was Manasseh’s second son; ³  he had only daughters.

[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.

[7:15]  ² tn Some translations treat the terms שֻׁפִּים (shuppim) and חֻפִּים (khuppim) as proper names of individuals (“Huppim” and “Shuppim”), but others consider these forms to be plurals and refer to tribal or clan names.

[7:15]  ³ tn Heb “and the name of the second was Zelophehad.”
