1 Crónicas 2:18 Meaning and 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 Hillerus ^F16 to interpret these names of the same person, and render the last clause, "that is, of Jerioth", of her whose name also was Jerioth, Azubah having two names; and the rather, since only the children of one are mentioned, as follows:

her sons are these; Jesher, and Shobab, and Ardon
of whom we read nowhere else; the Targum says, Azubah was so called, because she was barren and despised, which this clause contradicts.
