SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:42
Los hijos de Caleb hermano de Jerameel fueron : Mesa su primogénito, que fue el padre de Zif; y de sus otros hijos, Maresa, padre de Hebrón.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 2:42
Verse 42. Now the sons of Caleb] This was not Caleb the son of Jephunneh, but Caleb the son of Hezron, ver. 18, 50. But some think that Caleb the son of Hezron was the grandson of Caleb, son of Jephunneh; but this is probably fanciful. The father of Ziph] "The prince of the Ziphites." -T.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 42. Now the sons of Caleb the brother of Jerahmeel , etc.] Called Chelubai, ( 1 Chronicles 2:9) and is the same Caleb spoken of in ( Chronicles 2:18) and his sons next reckoned were by a third wife, Azubah, Ephrath being dead, ( 1 Chronicles 2:19) and these sons were Mesha his firstborn, which was the father of Ziph ; who gave name to the city of Ziph; there were two of this name in the tribe of Judah, ( Joshua 15:24,55) or this is the title of Mesha, governor of the city of Ziph; so the Targum calls him, prince of the Ziphites: and the sons of Mareshah the father of Hebron ; according to Kimchi and Ben Melech, the words are to be supplied thus, “and the sons of Ziph were Mareshah the father of Hebron”; which, though sometimes the name of a city in the tribe of Judah, is here the name of a man, from whom, perhaps, the city had its name, since Hebron is said to have sons in the next verse; Jarchi makes Mesha to be the prince of Ziph, and prince of the children of Mareshah, and prince of Hebron.

--We are now come to the register of the children of Israel, tha distinguished people, who were to dwell alone, and not be reckone among the nations. But now, in Christ, all are welcome to his salvatio who come to him; all have equal privileges according to their faith in him, their love and devotedness to him. All that is truly valuabl consists in the favour, peace, and image of God, and a life spent to his glory, in promoting the welfare of our fellow-creatures __________________________________________________________________
