Hezron . . . daughter of Machir the father of Gilead--that is, chief of that town, which with the lands adjacent was no doubt the property of Machir, who was so desirous of a male heir.

This site's exposition

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.
