on 1 Chronicles 4:11-20
This unit gathers several branches of Caleb's descendants, including the craftsmen of the valley of Charashim at verse fourteen, carpenters and smiths named for their trade rather than for any deed. Verse eighteen preserves an otherwise unrecorded marriage, Bithiah the daughter of Pharaoh taken by a descendant of Caleb, an Egyptian princess grafted into Judah's genealogy without further comment. Most of the names in this stretch occur nowhere else in Scripture, which is part of what these chapters are doing, keeping every family on record even where no story survives to go with the name.
