Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 2:18-55

The persons mentioned in the former paragraph are most of them such as we read of, and most of them such as we read much of, in other scriptures; but very few of those to whom this paragraph relates are mentioned any where else. It should seem, the tribe of Judah were more full and exact in their genealogies than any other of the tribes, in which we must acknowledge a special providence, for the clearing of the genealogy of Christ. 1. Here we find Bezaleel, who was head-workman in building the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 2:18

And Caleb the son of Hezron ,.... The same that is called Chelubai, 1 Chronicles 2:9 but not the same with Caleb the son of Jephunneh, made mention of in the books of Numbers, Joshua, and Judges: he begat children of Azubah his wife, and of Jerioth ; who were both his wives; or it may be rather, since Azubah is so particularly called his wife, Jerioth might be a concubine: or of Azubah he begat Jerioth; so the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions; though it seems best with... read more

And when Azubah was dead, Caleb took unto him Ephrath ,.... The Targum is, "Miriam, who was called Ephrath"; but, according to Josephus F17 Antiqu. l. 3. c. 2. , it was his son Hur that was the husband of Miriam the sister of Moses: which bare him Hur ; See Gill on Exodus 17:10 . read more

And Hur begat Uri, and Uri begat Bezaleel. Who yet is not thought to be the same Bezaleel we read of in Exodus 31:2 though the fathers and grandfathers of both have the same names, and were of the same tribe. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 2:21

And afterward Hezron went in to the daughter of Machir the father of Gilead ,.... Which Machir was the son of Manasseh, and Gilead was his grandson, Numbers 26:29 the Targum is,"but he enticed a virgin, the daughter of Machir;'which suggests, that he committed fornication with her, though he afterwards married her; her name is not mentioned; to me it seems to be Abiah, 1 Chronicles 2:24 and whom the Targum there calls the daughter of Machir: whom he married when he was sixty years old... read more

And Segub begat Jair, who had twenty three cities in the land of Gilead. Which, according to Kimchi, he inherited in right of his wife, which, he says, he took out of the land of Gilead; but they seem to be rather what he took by force of arms from the former inhabitants; see Numbers 32:41 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 2:23

And he took Geshur, and Aram, with the towns of Jair, from them ,.... Cities or countries which the Geshurites and Aramaeans, or Syrians, before inhabited; and which he took from them, together with other towns, which, being taken by him, were called after his name; the Targum is, the Geshurites and Aramaeans took the villages of Jair from them; that is, from the sons of Jair in later times; see Joshua 12:5 . with Kenath, and the towns thereof ; which Jair took by Nobah his general,... read more

And after that Hezron was dead in Calebephratah ,.... Supposed to be the same with Bethlehem; and was so called, both from Caleb the son of Hezron, and Ephrath his wife, 1 Chronicles 2:19 , then Abiah, Hezron's wife, bare him Ashur the father of Tekoa ; being left with child by him at his death; the whole verse is paraphrased thus in the Targum,"and after Hezron died in the house of Caleb his son in Ephrath, the wife of Hezron the daughter of Machir was left with child, and she bare to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 2:25

And the sons of Jerahmeel, the firstborn of Hezron, were Ram the firstborn ,.... So called by his father after the name of his brother, see 1 Chronicles 2:9 . and Bunah, and Oren, and Ozem, and Ahijah ; or "of Ahijah", as some F18 Junius, Tremellius, Piscator, Michaelis. render it, this being the name of his wife, who bare him the sons before named, since mention is made of another wife in the next verse. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 2:26

Jerahmeel had also another wife, whose name was Atarah ,.... Distinct from his wife before named; or "another woman", which is a phrase for an harlot or concubine, Judges 11:2 which she might be, as Kimchi observes; though the former seems best: she was the mother of Onam ; and perhaps was the only son she bore to Jerahmeel, of whose sons see 1 Chronicles 2:28 . read more
