Caleb son of Hezron had children by his wife Azubah (and by Jerioth). These were her sons: Jesher, Shobab and Ardon.

When Azubah died, Caleb married Ephrath, who bore him Hur.

Hur was the father of Uri, and Uri the father of Bezalel.

Later, Hezron lay with the daughter of Makir the father of Gilead (he had married her when he was sixty years old), and she bore him Segub.

Segub was the father of Jair, who controlled twenty-three towns in Gilead.

(But Geshur and Aram captured Havvoth Jair, ^(F25) as well as Kenath with its surrounding settlements-sixty towns.) All these were descendants of Makir the father of Gilead.

After Hezron died in Caleb Ephrathah, Abijah the wife of Hezron bore him Ashhur the father ^(F26) of Tekoa. Jerahmeel Son of Hezron
