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 ) .

20 Hur fathered Uri, and Uri fathered B'tzal'el.
21 Afterwards, Hetzron had sexual relations with the daughter of Machir the father of Gil'ad; he married her when he was sixty years old, and she bore him S'guv.
22 S'guv fathered Ya'ir, who had twenty-three cities in the land of Gil'ad.
23 (But G'shur and Aram took Havot-Ya'ir away from them, along with K'nat and its villages - sixty cities.) All these were descendants of Machir the father of Gil'ad.
