This site's exposition
the sons of Ethan; Azariah
on 1 Chronicles 2:8-9
Ethan's son Azariah closes out Zerah's short branch, and the record does not carry it further, since the kingdom did not come from that line. Hezron's three sons, Jerahmeel, Ram and Chelubai, are named next, and each opens a branch the chapter traces in turn: Jerahmeel's at length, Ram's to David, and Chelubai's, better known as Caleb, twice over.
