Chelub the brother of Shuhah
on 1 Chronicles 4:11-20
This unit gathers several branches of Judah's families, among them the people of Ge-harashim, which was given this name because its people were craftsmen. Verse 18 records a marriage told nowhere else, of an Egyptian princess in Judah's genealogy: These were the children of Pharaoh’s daughter Bithiah.

Keilah the Garmite
Keilah is the town David rescued from the Philistines in 1 Samuel 23:1 to 5. The LORD told him its people would hand him over to Saul, in 1 Samuel 23:12. David later sent plunder to Eshtemoa in 1 Samuel 30:28.
