1 Chronicles 2:18-24

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.

Kenath was situated in the tribe of Manasseh, east of Jordan. Eusebius says it was called in his time [Kanatha,] Kanatha; and was a town in the Trachonitis, near Bozra. Josephus places it in Coelo-syria; and Pliny reckons it among the cities of the Decapolis. It was also called Nobah, after Nobah an Israelite, who conquered it, (Nu 32:42;) which is placed by Eusebius, eight miles south of Heshbon: See Note on Jud 8:11.
