1 Chronicles 2:42

_NOW THE SONS OF CALEB THE BROTHER OF JERAHMEEL WERE, MESHA HIS FIRSTBORN, WHICH WAS THE FATHER OF ZIPH; AND THE SONS OF MARESHAH THE FATHER OF HEBRON._ The sons of Caleb - (cf. 1 Chronicles 2:18; 1 Chronicles 2:25.) The sons here noticed were the fruit of his union with a third wife....

Verse 42. _NOW THE SONS OF CALEB_] This was not Caleb the son of Jephunneh, but Caleb the son of Hezron, 1 Chronicles 2:18; 1 Chronicles 2:50. But some think that Caleb the son of Hezron was the _grandson_ of Caleb, son of Jephunneh; but this is probably fanciful. _THE FATHER OF ZIPH_] "The prince of the Ziphites." - _T_....

A third line of descent from Caleb, the son of Hezron, the issue probably of a different mother, perhaps Jerioth 1 Chronicles 2:18. The supposed omissions in this verse have been supplied as follows: (1) “Mesha, the father of Ziph; and the sons of Ziph, Mareshah, the father of Hebron;” or (2) “Mareshah, the father of Ziph; and the sons of Mareshah, the father of Ziph, Hebron.” Ziph, like Jorkoam 1 Chronicles 2:44 and Beth-zur 1 Chronicles 2:45, is the name of a place where the respective chiefs (“fathers”) settled. Similarly Madmannah, Machbenah, and Gibea...

EXPOSITION The interest of this chapter owes something to the several unsatisfied questions which it suggests, to difficult and knotty points which nevertheless do not altogether counsel despair, and to occasional significant indications of sources drawn upon by the compiler, certainly quite additional to the contents of the existing books of the Old Testament. We know something of what we have to expect when the name of Israel, or Jacob, is announced in the first verse, with his twelve sons—those "patriarchs," some of whom (certainly not as many as eleven, for Reuben was absent, and, with scarcely a doubt, Benjamin), "moved with envy, sold into Egypt Joseph," the twelfth (Acts 7:9). We here enter, in fact, upon the genealogies and tables and enumeratious of collateral lines of "all Israel," to which the whole of the following seven chapters are devoted ...

NOW THE SONS OF CALEB THE BROTHER OF JERAHMEEL,.... Called Chelubai, 1 Chronicles 2:9 and is the same Caleb spoken of in 1 Chronicles 2:18 and his sons next reckoned were by a third wife, Azubah, Ephrath being dead, 1 Chronicles 2:19 and these sons were MESHA HIS FIRSTBORN, WHICH WAS THE FATHER OF ZIPH; who gave name to the city of Ziph; there were two of this name in the tribe of Judah, Joshua 15:24 or this is the title of Mesha, governor of the city of Ziph; so the Targum calls him, prince of the Ziphites: AND THE SONS OF MARESHAH THE FATHER OF HEBRON; according to Kimchi an

PART I (1 Chronicles 1-9). GENEALOGICAL LISTS, TOGETHER WITH GEOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL NOTES. These Chapter s form a general introduction to the whole work.

The Descendants of Caleb 42. _Caleb the brother of Jerahmeel_ Called _Chelubai_(1 Chronicles 2:9) and _Caleb the son of Hezron_(1 Chronicles 2:18). There is nothing to shew what relationship existed between this Caleb and Caleb son of Jephunneh (1 Chronicles 4:15 and Numbers 13:6). Perhaps they are to be identified; cp. 1 Chronicles 2:49, note. Both are assigned to the tribe of Judah. Several of the names, viz. Ziph ...
