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 name of the wife of Abishur was Abihail,.... Of the same name was a wife of Rehoboam, a daughter of his grandfather David's eldest brother, Eliab, 2Ch 11:18. and she bare him Ahban, and Molid; which are no more mentioned, they perhaps leaving no posterity.
