2:18 Caleb son of Hezron fathered sons by his wife Azubah (also known as Jerioth). 1 Her sons were Jesher, Shobab, and Ardon. 2:19 When Azubah died, Caleb married 2 Ephrath, who bore him Hur.
1 tn Heb “and Caleb son of Hezron fathered [children] with Azubah, a wife, and with Jerioth.” Jerioth could be viewed as a second wife (so NLT; cf. also NASB, NIV, NRSV), but the following context mentions only “her [presumably Azubah’s] sons.” Another option, the one chosen in the translation, is that Jerioth is another name for Azubah.
2 tn Heb “took for himself.”
