And the sons of Zerah; Zimri, and Ethan, and Heman, and Calcol, and Dara: five of them in all.

Zimri

Zabdi, ^ydbz^ is apparently here called Zimri, ^yrmz^ in consequence of a ^b^, "baith", being mistaken for a ^m^, "mem", and a ^d^, "daleth", for a ^r^, "raish",

Ozem the sixth, David the seventh:

It appears from the parallel places of Samuel, that Jesse had eight sons, of whom David was the eighth and youngest; but one may have died before David came to the throne.

And Abigail bare Amasa: and the father of Amasa was Jether the Ishmeelite.

Amasa

2 Samuel 17:25 19:13 20:4-12 1 Kings 2:5,32

Jether

Jether, [Yether (rty)] is essentially the same with [Yithra' ()rty)] Ithra, the latter only having the addition of an ['Aleph] aleph; and it is probable, that he was an Ishmaelite by birth but an Israelite by religion.

2 Samuel 17:25

Ithra an Israelite

Verse 18

And Caleb the son of Hezron begat children of Azubah his wife, and of Jerioth: her sons are these; Jesher, and Shobab, and Ardon.

A. M. 2534, etc. B.C. 1470, etc. Caleb. Caleb, [Kaleb (blk)] is the same as Chelubai, [K@luwbay (ybwlk)]; the latter simply having a [V‚v] {wav} inserted, and a [YÙde] {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

Verse 19

And when Azubah was dead, Caleb took unto him Ephrath, which bare him Hur.

And Segub begat Jair, who had three and twenty cities in the land of Gilead.

Jair

Numbers 32:41 Deuteronomy 3:14 Joshua 13:30

And he took Geshur, and Aram, with the towns of Jair, from them, with Kenath, and the towns thereof, even threescore cities. All these belonged to the sons of Machir the father of Gilead.

Geshur

Joshua 13:13 2 Samuel 13:38

Kenath

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.

And after that Hezron was dead in Calebephratah, then Abiah Hezron's wife bare him Ashur the father of Tekoa.

the children of Sheshan

34,35

And Sheshan gave his daughter to Jarha his servant to wife; and she bare him Attai.

Sheshan

When the people of the East have no sons, they frequently marry their daughters to their slaves, even when they have much property to bestow upon them. Hassan had been the slave of Kamel, his predecessor; but Kamel, according to the custom of the country, gave him one of his daughters in marriage, and left him at his death one part of his great riches which he had amassed in the course of a long and prosperous life (Maillet, Lett. xi. p. 118).

And Attai begat Nathan, and Nathan begat Zabad,

Zabad

11:41

Now the sons of Caleb the brother of Jerahmeel were, Mesha his firstborn, which was the father of Ziph; and the sons of Mareshah the father of Hebron.

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

18,19,24

his first-born

Genesis 49:3 Exodus 4:22,23 Romans 8:29 Hebrews 12:23

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

the father of Hebron

23,24,45,49,52 8:29 Ezra 2:21-35 Nehemiah 7:25-38

And the son of Shammai was Maon: and Maon was the father of Bethzur.

Beth-zur

Beth-zur was situated in the tribe of Judah, twenty miles south from Jerusalem, towards Hebron, according to Eusebius. It was fortified by Rehoboam, (2 Ch 11:7) and was a fortress of great consequence, principally in the time of the Maccabees. 1 Mac 4:28; 6:7, etc.

Joshua 15:58

And Ephah, Caleb's concubine, bare Haran, and Moza, and Gazez: and Haran begat Gazez.

46 Genesis 25:5,6

She bare also Shaaph the father of Madmannah, Sheva the father of Machbenah, and the father of Gibea: and the daughter of Caleb was Achsah.

the father of Madmannah

42 Madmannah was a city situated in the southern part of Judah, and towards Gaza, according to Eusebius.; Joshua 15:31 Isaiah 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.

Joshua 15:57 2 Samuel 21:6

Gibeah

Verse 50

These were the sons of Caleb the son of Hur, the firstborn of Ephratah; Shobal the father of Kirjathjearim,

And Shobal the father of Kirjathjearim had sons; Haroeh, and half of the Manahethites.

Haroeh

or, Reaiah.

4:2 As Haroeh and Reaiah have nearly the same signification, it is probable they were deemed perfectly interchangeable, and indifferently applied.

half of the Manahethites

or, half of the Menuchites, or, Hatsihammenuchoth.

And the families of Kirjathjearim; the Ithrites, and the Puhites, and the Shumathites, and the Mishraites; of them came the Zareathites, and the Eshtaulites.
