His name appears in the context of the descendants of Caleb, a prominent figure in the conquest of Canaan. Chelub's lineage is significant in understanding the familial and tribal structures of ancient Israel, particularly within the tribe of Judah, which held a central role in the history of the Israelites.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/1_chronicles/4-11.htm">1 Chronicles 4:11</a></b> · "Chelub the brother of Shuhah was the father of Mehir, who was the father of Eshton." <br><br>This verse situates Chelub within the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah. He is identified as the brother of Shuhah and the father of Mehir, indicating his role in the continuation of his family line. The mention of Chelub in this context highlights the importance of family and lineage in the biblical narrative, as well as the interconnectedness of the tribes of Israel.<br><br><b>Genealogical Context:</b><br><br>Chelub's mention in the genealogies underscores the significance of family heritage and tribal affiliation in ancient Israel. The tribe of Judah, from which Chelub descends, is particularly noteworthy as it is the tribe from which King David and, ultimately, Jesus Christ are descended. This connection to Judah places Chelub within a broader narrative of God's covenantal promises to His people.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Significance:</b><br><br>In the ancient Near Eastern context, genealogies served not only as records of ancestry but also as a means of establishing identity, inheritance rights, and social status. Chelub's inclusion in the genealogical records of 1 Chronicles reflects the importance of maintaining a detailed account of family lines, which was crucial for the preservation of tribal identity and the fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br><br>From a theological perspective, the genealogies in which Chelub appears serve to demonstrate God's faithfulness in preserving the lineage through which He would bring about His redemptive plan. The tribe of Judah, to which Chelub belongs, is central to the messianic prophecies that find their fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Thus, Chelub's place in the genealogy contributes to the unfolding narrative of salvation history as recorded in the Scriptures.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br><br>Chelub, though a relatively minor figure in the biblical text, is part of the intricate tapestry of Israel's history and God's redemptive plan. His mention in the genealogies of Judah highlights the importance of family and tribal identity in the biblical narrative and underscores the continuity of God's promises to His people.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Chelub</span><p>a basket<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Chelub</span><p><ol> <li>A man among the descendants of Judah.</li> <li>Ezri the son of Chelub, one of David's officers.
