1 Chronicles 4:11 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 4:11

And Chelub the brother of Shuah begat Mehir
If Shuah is the same with Hushah, ( 1 Chronicles 4:4 ) , then Chelub was the son of Ezer:

which was the father of Eshton;
not the prince of a place called Eshton, as Vatablus; for it is the name of a man, the son of Mehir, and who in the next verse is said to beget sons.

1 Chronicles 4:11 In-Context

9 And Jabez was honoured more than his brothers; but his mother had given him the name Jabez, saying, Because I gave birth to him with sorrow.

10 And Jabez made a prayer to the God of Israel, saying, If only you would truly give me a blessing, and make wider the limits of my land, and let your hand be with me, and keep me from evil, so that I may not be troubled by it! And God gave him his desire.

11 And Chelub, the brother of Shuhah, was the father of Mehir, who was the father of Eshton.

12 And Eshton was the father of Bethrapha and Paseah and Tehinnah, the father of Ir-nahash. These are the men of Recah.

13 And the sons of Kenaz: Othniel and Seraiah; and the sons of Othniel: Hathath.
