1 Chronicles 2:21 Meaning and 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;
the Targum is sixty six; this seems to be his last wife:

and she bare him Segub;
the same name with the youngest son of Hiel, who rebuilt Jericho, ( 1 Kings 16:34 ) .

1 Chronicles 2:21 In-Context

19 After Azubah died, Caleb married Ephrath, who gave birth to Hur for him.
20 Hur was the father of Uri, and Uri was the father of Bezalel.
21 Later, Hezron had sexual relations with the daughter of Machir, Gilead's father, whom he married when he was 60 years old, and she gave birth to Segub for him.
22 Segub was the father of Jair, who owned twenty-three towns in the land of Gilead,
23 but Geshur and Aram took Havvoth-jair from them, as well as Kenath and its villages, sixty towns. All these were descendants of Machir, Gilead's father.
