1 Chronicles 2 Footnotes

2:15 First Sm 16:10 lists seven sons of Jesse, excluding David, who was the eighth. First Ch 27:18 names “Elihu” as a brother of David, a name not found in this list. Some suggest that one of the brothers might have died at some point, but the text is silent on this matter.

2:18 This “Caleb” (son of Hezron) was not the same as Caleb (son of Jephunneh), Moses’s spy and warrior of the conquest of Canaan. That Caleb was a contemporary of Bezalel (v. 20), who was the great-grandson of this Caleb.
