Contextual Overview

18 Caleb was Hezron's son. Caleb had children with his wife Azubah. Azubah was the daughter of Jerioth. Azubah's sons were Jesher, Shobab, and Ardon. 19 When Azubah died, Caleb married Ephrath. Caleb and Ephrath had a son. They named him Hur. 20 Hur was Uri's father. Uri was Bezalel's father. 21 Later when Hezron was 60 years old, he married Makir's daughter. Makir was the father of Gilead. Hezron had sexual relations with Makir's daughter, and she gave birth to Segub. 22 Segub was Jair's father. Jair had 23 cities in the country of Gilead. 23 But Geshur and Aram took Jair's villages. Among them were Kenath and the small towns around it. There were 60 small towns in all. All these towns belonged to the sons of Makir, the father of Gilead. 24 After Hezron died in the town of Caleb Ephrathah, his wife Abijah had his son, who was named Ashhur. Ashhur was the father of Tekoa. 25 Jerahmeel was Hezron's first son. Jerahmeel's sons were Ram, Bunah, Oren, Ozem, and Ahijah. Ram was Jerahmeel's first son. 26 Jerahmeel had another wife named Atarah. Onam's mother was Atarah. 27 Jerahmeel's first son, Ram, had sons. They were Maaz, Jamin, and Eker.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

the father of Madmannah: 1 Chronicles 2:42, Madmannah was a city situated in the southern part of Judah, and towards Gaza, according to Eusebius. Joshua 15:31, Isaiah 10:31, Madmenah

Gibea: It is probable this was not Gibeah of Benjamin, and the royal residence of Saul, but Gibeah in the tribe of Judah, to which all these other cities belonged. Joshua 15:57, 2 Samuel 21:6, Gibeah

Reciprocal: Joshua 15:17 - Achsah 1 Chronicles 8:13 - the fathers

Gill's Notes on the Bible

She bare also Shaaph the father of Madmannah,.... Prince of a place so called, in the tribe of Judah, Joshua 15:31

Sheva the father of Machbenah, and the father of Gibeah; prince of two cities of those names in the same tribe; of the latter see Joshua 15:57,

and the daughter of Caleb was Achsah; Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, had a daughter of this name, but neither he nor she are here meant, Joshua 15:16 but by whom Caleb, the son of Hezron, had this daughter, is not said; perhaps by Maachah his concubine last mentioned.
