Commentary
3 notes on this verseAnd Hur begat Uri, and Uri begat Bezaleel. Who yet is not thought to be the same Bezaleel we read of in Exo 31:2 though the fathers and grandfathers of both have the same names, and were of the same tribe.

begat children of Azubah his wife, and of Jerioth
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.
