Footnotes
- 1 Chronicles 2:3 Or Bathshua
- 1 Chronicles 2:6 Variant Darda
- 1 Chronicles 2:7 Achar, which means troubler, is a derogatory name for Achan, who stole from the goods of Jericho that had been devoted to destruction (Joshua 7). A few Hebrew manuscripts read Achan.
- 1 Chronicles 2:9 This Celubai seems to be the same person as Caleb in verse 18.
- 1 Chronicles 2:9 The Greek text adds the name Aram at the end of the verse.
- 1 Chronicles 2:10 Variant Aram. See Ruth 4:19, which includes both readings, and the Greek of Matthew 1:3-4, which reads Aram. The identity of Ram and Aram in these texts is uncertain. It is uncertain whether these are two names for one person or two different people.
- 1 Chronicles 2:11 Variant Salmon
- 1 Chronicles 2:12 There appear to be gaps in this genealogy. See the parallel list in Ruth 4.
- 1 Chronicles 2:17 Variant the Israelite here and in 2 Samuel 17:25
- 1 Chronicles 2:18 The Hebrew text reads and Jerioth. Since only one woman is mentioned in the next sentence, the word and here seems to be explanatory, producing the meaning also called Jerioth. The text is difficult, and translations vary greatly. By alternate arrangements of the text, Jerioth is understood as the name of the first son or of a second wife.
- 1 Chronicles 2:19 The genealogies of Caleb son of Hezron (not to be confused with Joshua’s companion Caleb) are very confusing, probably because his life was a tangle of wives and concubines. See verses 21-24, 42-47.
- 1 Chronicles 2:22 The Hebrew word ‘ir, usually translated cities, includes settlements smaller than what would typically be called cities today.
- 1 Chronicles 2:23 Literally its daughters
- 1 Chronicles 2:24 This difficult text has also been translated: After Hezron’s death, Caleb had sexual relations with Ephrath, his father Hezron’s wife (v 19), and she bore to him Ashhur the father of Tekoa, but this translation requires some emendation of the text.
- 1 Chronicles 2:31 However, see verse 34.
- 1 Chronicles 2:34 It has been suggested that verse 34 is an explanatory footnote to verse 31, and that the “son,” Ahlai, who is named in verse 31, is in fact a daughter through whom the family line was carried on.
- 1 Chronicles 2:42 Alternate reading of the Hebrew. The main Hebrew text reads and the sons of Mareshah. Ziph and Hebron are the names of cities.
- 1 Chronicles 2:49 Apparently this is not the same person as the Aksah who was the daughter of the later Caleb, the companion of Joshua.
- 1 Chronicles 2:52 Menuhoth is a literal translation. The ending -oth is usually a feminine plural. This may refer to the same group that is called Manahathites in verse 54.
- 1 Chronicles 2:54 Here a man’s “sons” are cities and towns inhabited by his descendants.
