the firstborn of Hezron were, Ram the firstborn, and Bunah

on 1 Chronicles 2:25-41

Jerahmeel's branch runs eleven generations in bare names, several closing with the notice that a son died without children, the record's own way of marking a line that goes no further. It ends in Sheshan, who had no sons, so he gave his daughter to Jarha, his Egyptian servant, and their marriage carries the family six more generations to Elishama, an Egyptian proselyte grafted into Judah much as the Moabite woman Ruth is grafted into Ram's own line earlier in this chapter.

The record, by era

The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice

And the sons of Ram the firstborn of Jerahmeel,.... By his first wife: were Maaz, and Jamin, and Eker; of whom no other notice is taken; perhaps they left no children.
