1. 1 Chronicles 4:11

   Chelub the brother of Shuhah was the father of Mehir, who was the father of Eshton.

   ›Commentary on 1 Chronicles 4:112 voices

   “And Chelub the brother of Shuah begat Mehir,.... If Shuah is the same with Hushah, 1Ch 4:4, then Chelub was the son of Ezer: which was the father of Eshton; not the prince of a place called Eshton, as Vatablus; for it is the name of a man, the son of Mehir, and who in the next verse is said to beget sons.

   “It has been conjectured from the strangeness of all the names in this list, that we have here a fragment of Canaanite record, connected with the family of the “Shua,” whose daughter Judah took to wife 1Ch 2:3; Gen 38:2, and whose family thus became related to the tribe of Judah.

2. 1 Chronicles 4:12

   Eshton was the father of Beth-rapha, of Paseah, and of Tehinnah the father of Ir-nahash. These were the men of Recah.

   ›Commentary on 1 Chronicles 4:121 voice

   “And Eshton begat Bethrapha,.... Or the family of Rapha: and Paseah, and Tehinnah the father of Irnahash; or the city of Nahash; Tehinnah seems to have been the prince or governor of a city, so called: these are the men of Rechah; these sons of Eshton dwelt in a place called Rechah; the Targum, without any reason, says, these are the men of the great sanhedrim.
