* Caleb.
This was not Caleb the son of Jephunneh, but Caleb the son of
Hezron, and therefore called the brother of Jerahmeel: See
the parallel texts:

* Chelubai.
# 18,19,24|
* his first-born.
# Ge 49:3; Ex 4:22,23; Ro 8:29; Heb 12:23|
* the father. i.e, the founder.
Or, as the Targum renders, "the prince of the Ziphites;" for
it was usual to call both the founder and the prince of a city
its father.
* Ziph.
# Jos 15:24; 1Sa 23:19; 26:1|
* the father of Hebron.
# 23,24,45,49,52; 8:29; Ezr 2:21-35; Ne 7:25-38|
