And Penuel the father of Gedor, and Ezer the father of Hushah. These are the sons of Hur, the firstborn of Ephratah, the father of Bethlehem.
Penuel the father of Gedor - founder or chief man of Gedor, now Jedur, in the hill-country of Judah, rather more than 12 miles from Jerusalem (Robinson's 'Biblical Researches,' 2:, p. 338).
And Ezer the father of Hushah - a city of Judah (see the notes at 1 Chronicles 27:11) [Septuagint, Oosan].
These are the sons of Hur, the first-born of Ephratah the father of Beth-lehem. It is difficult to determine the connection of Hur with this place, because in 1 Chronicles 2:50 Salma is said to be "the father of Beth-lehem." Hur was the oldest son of Ephratah, the older Caleb's second wife (1 Chronicles 2:19), so that Hur, as the legal heir of his father Caleb, had the best title to the name of "father of Beth-lehem," and Salma, who had property in that place, must have owed his connection with it either to intermarrying into the family, or to his being, perhaps, a younger brother.
