Who gave name to a city in the tribe of Judah, Jos 15:55 see 1Sa 23:24. and Maon was the father of Bethzur; prince of a very strong fortified city of this name in the same tribe, Jos 15:58, unless this was a son of Maon's, from whom the city had its name.
This site's exposition
the brother of Jerahmeel were, Mesha his firstborn
on 1 Chronicles 2:42-50
A second Caleb, grandson of the Caleb who fathered Hur, opens his own list of descendants called fathers of Ziph, Hebron and other towns in Judah's hill country, a formula the bench reads as founder or prince of each place rather than literal begetting. The name Caleb belongs to two distinct men here, one the son of Hezron and one his own grandson, and the text leaves the repetition standing without comment.
