(Hebrews Kelubay', כְּלוּבִי; Sept. Χαλέβ ) one of the sons of Hezron (1 Chronicles 2:9); elsewhere (1 Chronicles 5:18) called CALEB (See CALEB) (q.v.). It is worth noting that, while in this passage Jerahmeel is stated to be a brother of Chelubai, it appears from 1 Samuel 27:10, that the Jerahmeelites were placed on the " south of Judah," where also were the possessions of the house of Caleb (Judges 1:15; 1 Samuel 25:3; 1 Samuel 30:14).
