Contextual Overview

18 Kalev the son of Hetzron fathered sons with ‘Azuvah his wife (and with Yeri‘ot); these were her sons: Yesher, Shovav and Ardon. 19 After ‘Azuvah died, Kalev married Efrat, who bore him Hur. 20 Hur fathered Uri, and Uri fathered B'tzal'el. 21 Afterwards, Hetzron had sexual relations with the daughter of Machir the father of Gil‘ad; he married her when he was sixty years old, and she bore him S'guv. 22 S'guv fathered Ya'ir, who had twenty-three cities in the land of Gil‘ad. 23 (But G'shur and Aram took Havot-Ya'ir away from them, along with K'nat and its villages — sixty cities.) All these were descendants of Machir the father of Gil‘ad. 24 After Hetzron died in Kalev-Efratah, Aviyah Hetzron's wife bore him Ash'chur the father of T'koa. 25 The sons of Yerachme'el Hetzron's firstborn: Ram the firstborn, Bunah, Oren, Otzem and Achiyah. 26 Yerachme'el had another wife, whose name was ‘Atarah; she was the mother of Onam. 27 The sons of Ram the firstborn son of Yerachme'el: Ma‘atz, Yamin and ‘Eker.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Ephah Caleb's concubine bare Haran, and Moza, and Gazez,.... An half-wife, or secondary wife; for though this man seems not to have had more wives than one at a time, yet he had concubines with them; we read of another after this, if not a third:

and Haran begat Gazez; whom he so named after his brother.
