1 Chronicles 2:50 NIV

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 2:50

These were the sons of Caleb the son of Hur, the firstborn of Ephratah ,.... This is another Caleb, the grandson of Caleb the son of Hezron, called after his name; he was the son of Hur, the firstborn of his wife Ephratah, 1 Chronicles 2:19 . Shobal the father of Kirjathjearim : of the inhabitants of that place; they sprung from him; or, as the Targum, he was prince of Kirjathjearim, a city in the tribe of Judah, Joshua 15:60 . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 2:50-55

The opening sentence of these verses has also been already discussed. It may be now added (see Keil, 'Commentary,' in loc .) that some would understand the words as though they meant, These were the sons of Caleb , in the descending line of Hur, Ephratah's firstborn . This rendering is got at by altering "the son of Hut" into "the sons of Hur," which seems to have been the reading of the Septuagint manuscripts, and which, at all events, their rendering has. The remainder of 1... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 2:50

Caleb the son of Hur - Hur was the son, not the father, of Caleb 1 Chronicles 2:19. The text should perhaps be read: “These (the list in 1 Chronicles 2:42-49) were the sons of Caleb. The sons of Hur, the first-born of Ephratah, were Shobal, etc.” read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 2:1-55

Descendants of Judah and Simeon (2:1-4:43)Having listed the children of Jacob (Israel) starting with the eldest son Reuben, the writer immediately turns his attention to the tribe of Judah, the tribe that produced the dynasty of David (2:1-17). He traces the line of David first, then goes back to deal with a number of other important people in Judah and lists their descendants (18-55). On completing this, he returns to list the family of David (3:1-9), the descendants of David who reigned after... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - 1 Chronicles 2:50

Caleb the son of Hur. The son of the Caleb in 1 Chronicles 2:19 , Hur giving him the name of his own father. It is possible that this Caleb (1 Chronicles 2:50 ) may have been the son of Jephunneh (Numbers 13:6 ), Jephunneh being the surname of the Hur of Exodus 17:10 ; Exodus 24:14 ; Exodus 31:2 ; Exodus 35:30 . Kirjath-jearim. An old Gibeonite city (Joshua 9:17 ; Joshua 15:60 ), where the Ark tarried long, and whence it was brought to Zion by David (1 Samuel 6:21 . 1 Samuel 7:2 . 2 Samuel... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 2:42-55

(42-55) These verses revert to the Calebite stocks. Interpreted as merely bearing upon the extraction of individuals about whom, for the most part, nothing whatever is known beyond what these brief notices reveal, the section presents great difficulties. The key to it appears to be the assumption that it is an ancient record of the relations between certain great branches of the tribe of Judah, and their various settlements; in other words, these lists are tribal and topographical, rather than... read more

III.—1 Chronicles 2:50-55 : A third register of Calebite clans and settlements.(50) The sons of Caleb the son of Hur, the firstborn of Ephratah.—See 1 Chronicles 2:19-20 and Notes. The statement “These were the sons of Caleb” should be connected with 1 Chronicles 2:49, as a subscription or concluding remark to the list, 1 Chronicles 2:42-49. (Comp. 1 Chronicles 2:33.) A fresh start is then made with “the sons (so the LXX.) of Hur, firstborn of Ephratah,” reverting to the Caleb of 1 Chronicles... read more
