The mention of his brother Shuhah suggests a family of some significance, though little is known about them outside of this passage. The genealogies in Chronicles often highlight lesser-known individuals, emphasizing the importance of every member in the lineage of Israel. This reflects the biblical theme that God values each person, regardless of their prominence. The name Chelub may be related to Caleb, a more prominent figure, though they are distinct individuals. Shuhah is not mentioned elsewhere, indicating that the chronicler's focus is on establishing lineage rather than detailing personal achievements.<p><b>was the father of Mehir</b><br>Mehir is another figure about whom little is known outside of this genealogy. The chronicler's inclusion of Mehir underscores the importance of family lines in the biblical narrative, particularly in the context of the tribes of Israel. The genealogies serve to connect the post-exilic community to their ancestral roots, reinforcing their identity and continuity as God's chosen people. The name Mehir means "price" or "reward," which may reflect cultural values or expectations placed upon him or his descendants.<p><b>who was the father of Eshton</b><br>Eshton, like his predecessors, is not widely mentioned in other biblical texts. His inclusion in the genealogy serves to trace the lineage and heritage of the tribe of Judah, to which these individuals belong. The genealogies in Chronicles often serve to affirm the fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs, particularly the promise of a lasting heritage. Eshton's name means "effort" or "labor," which could symbolize the toil and perseverance required to maintain the family line and uphold the covenantal promises. This lineage, though not directly linked to major biblical events, contributes to the broader tapestry of Israel's history and God's redemptive plan.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/k/kelub.htm">Kelub</a></b><br>Mentioned as the brother of Shuhah, Kelub is a lesser-known figure in the genealogies of Judah.

So the Vat., LXX. <span class= "greekheb">?????</span>. Compare <a href="/1_chronicles/2-55.htm" title="And the families of the scribes which dwelled at Jabez; the Tirathites, the Shimeathites, and Suchathites. These are the Kenites that came of Hemath, the father of the house of Rechab.">1Chronicles 2:55</a>, where the Sopherim of Jabez are called Rechabites, and see Notes on the passage. These Rechabites united with the Salmaite branch of Hurites; and Hur was a son of Caleb, <a href="/1_chronicles/2-19.htm" title="And when Azubah was dead, Caleb took to him Ephrath, which bore him Hur.">1Chronicles 2:19</a>. Hence it is likely that the Chelub of <a href="/1_chronicles/4-11.htm" title="And Chelub the brother of Shuah begat Mehir, which was the father of Eshton.">1Chronicles 4:11</a> is identical with the Caleb-Chelubai of 1 Chronicles 2, who represents a main division of the Hezronites. Others suppose that the epithet, "brother of Shuah" (Shuhah), is meant to obviate this identification. The other names in this short section are wholly unknown. But their form shows at once that Beth-rapha and Ir-nahash (serpent city) are towns.<p><span class= "bld">Paseah</span> (lame; comp.

The suggestion of Grove, in his art. "Ir-enahash" (Smith's 'Bible Dictionary'), is worth notice, that possibly the versos may be a reminiscence of some Canaanitish graft on Judah - the Shuah (<span class="hebrew">שׁוּחָה</span>) of ver. 11 pointing to the Shua (<span class="hebrew">שׁוַּע</span>)of <a href="/1_chronicles/2-3.htm">1 Chronicles 2:3</a>; <a href="/genesis/38-2.htm">Genesis 38:2</a>. Beth-rapha (the house of the giant) looks more like the name of a place than of a person, though the text needs a person, and such may be covered possibly by this name, though it be of a place. Ir-nahash (the city of the serpent). Jerome, in his 'Quaestiones Hebraicae in Parah,' asserts or repeats the assertion of some one else that this is no other place than Bethlehem; taking Nahash as a synonym with Jesse. Unlikely as this is, no place of the name is known. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/1_chronicles/4-11.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Kelub</span><br /><span class="heb">וּכְל֥וּב</span> <span class="translit">(ū·ḵə·lūḇ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun -
