2 notes on this verseAnd when Azubah was dead, Caleb took unto him Ephrath,.... The Targum is, "Miriam, who was called Ephrath"; but, according to Josephus (q), it was his son Hur that was the husband of Miriam the sister of Moses: which bare him Hur; See Gill on Exo 17:10. (q) Antiqu. l. 3. c. 2.

on 1 Chronicles 2:18-24
Caleb's line through Hezron runs to Hur and then to Uri and Bezaleel, the same three-generation descent Exodus 31:2 gives for the craftsman the LORD filled with skill to raise the tabernacle, so the tribe that produces the king also produces the man who first built the pattern David will later hand to Solomon. Hezron himself fathered a son in old age, Ashur the father of Tekoa, after the text has already recorded his death in Caleb-ephratah, an order the record leaves standing rather than explains.
