She was also the mother of Shaaph father of Madmannah
Shaaph is listed as a descendant of Caleb, a prominent figure in the tribe of Judah. Madmannah is a location in the Negev region, south of Judah, indicating the territorial expansion and settlement of Caleb's descendants. This reflects the fulfillment of God's promise to give the land to the tribes of Israel. The mention of Shaaph as the "father" of Madmannah suggests a founding or significant role in the establishment of this settlement, highlighting the importance of lineage and inheritance in Israelite culture.

and of Sheva father of Machbenah and Gibea
Sheva is another descendant of Caleb, and his mention as the "father" of Machbenah and Gibea suggests his role in establishing or leading these places. Machbenah and Gibea are less well-known locations, but their inclusion signifies the spread and influence of Caleb's lineage. This reflects the broader narrative of the Israelites settling and organizing the Promised Land. The emphasis on these familial connections underscores the importance of tribal identity and heritage in maintaining the covenant community.

Caleb’s daughter was Acsah
Acsah is a notable figure in the biblical narrative, known for her marriage to Othniel, Caleb's nephew, as recorded in Joshua 15:16-19 and Judges 1:12-15. Her story highlights themes of inheritance and the role of women in securing family legacy. Acsah's request for springs of water from her father Caleb demonstrates her assertiveness and the value of resource-rich land in the arid region of Judah. This account also prefigures the role of women in the biblical narrative who, through wisdom and initiative, contribute to the fulfillment of God's promises to His people.
