And after that Hezron was dead in Caleb-ephratah, then Abiah Hezron's wife bare him Ashur the father of Tekoa.
Caleb-ephratah - so called from uniting the names of husband and wife (1 Chronicles 2:19), and supposed to be the same as was afterward called Bethlehem-ephratah.
Ashur the father of Tekoa (2 Samuel 14:2-4). He is called the father, either from his being the first founder, or perhaps the ruler, of the city.
