1 Chronicles 2:18-24
New King James Version
The Family of Hezron
18 Caleb the son of Hezron had children by Azubah, his wife, and by Jerioth. Now these were her sons: Jesher, Shobab, and Ardon. 19 When Azubah died, Caleb [a]took (A)Ephrath[b] as his wife, who bore him Hur. 20 And Hur begot Uri, and Uri begot (B)Bezalel.
21 Now afterward Hezron went in to the daughter of (C)Machir the father of Gilead, whom he married when he was sixty years old; and she bore him Segub. 22 Segub begot (D)Jair,[c] who had twenty-three cities in the land of Gilead. 23 (E)(Geshur and Syria took from them the towns of Jair, with Kenath and its towns—sixty towns.) All these belonged to the sons of Machir the father of Gilead. 24 After Hezron died in Caleb Ephrathah, Hezron’s wife Abijah bore him (F)Ashhur the father of Tekoa.
