⁴³ The sons of Hebron: Korah, Tappuah, Rekem, and Shema.

⁴⁴ Shema was the father of Raham, who was the father of Jorkeam. Rekem was the father of Shammai.

⁴⁵ Shammai’s son was Maon, the father of Bethzur.

⁴⁷ The sons of Jahdai: Regem, Jotham, Geshan, Pelet, Ephah, and Shaaph.

^48-49 Another of Caleb’s concubines, Maacah, bore him Sheber, Tirhanah, Shaaph (the father of Madmannah), and Sheva (the father of Machbenah and of Gibea). Caleb also had a daughter, whose name was Achsah.

⁵⁰ The sons of Hur (who was the oldest son of Caleb^[a] and Ephrathah) were Shobal (the father of Kiriath-jearim), ⁵¹ Salma (the father of Bethlehem), and Hareph (the father of Beth-gader).

⁵² Shobal’s sons included Kiriath-jearim and Haroeh, the ancestor of half of the Menuhoth tribe.

⁵³ The families of Kiriath-jearim were the Ithrites, the Puthites, the Shumathites, and the Mishraites (from whom descended the Zorathites and Eshtaolites).

⁵⁴ The descendants of Salma were his son Bethlehem, the Netophathites, Atrothbeth-joab, half the Manahathites, and the Zorites; ⁵⁵ they also included the families of the writers living at Jabez—the Tirathites, Shimeathites, and Sucathites. All these are Kenites who descended from Hammath, the founder of the family of Rechab.
