The sons of Hezron
This phrase introduces us to the lineage of Hezron, a significant figure in the genealogy of the tribe of Judah. Hezron is a grandson of Judah, one of the twelve sons of Jacob, and his descendants play a crucial role in the unfolding narrative of Israel's history. The Hebrew root for "sons" (בָּנִים, banim) emphasizes the continuation of a family line, which is a central theme in the genealogies of the Old Testament. The mention of Hezron here underscores the importance of heritage and the fulfillment of God's promises through specific family lines.

who were born to him
This phrase highlights the natural process of birth and lineage, emphasizing the divine orchestration in the continuation of the chosen people. The Hebrew verb "born" (יָלַד, yalad) is often used in genealogical contexts to denote not just physical birth but also the passing on of covenantal promises. It reminds readers of the providential hand of God in the establishment and preservation of His people through successive generations.

Jerahmeel
Jerahmeel is the first son mentioned, and his name means "May God have compassion" or "God pities." This name reflects a deep-seated hope and reliance on God's mercy, a recurring theme throughout the Scriptures. Historically, the Jerahmeelites were a clan within the tribe of Judah, and their mention here signifies their role in the broader narrative of Israel's history. The name itself serves as a reminder of the compassionate nature of God towards His people.

Ram
The second son, Ram, is an ancestor of King David, making him a pivotal figure in the messianic lineage. The name Ram means "exalted" or "high," which prophetically points to the exaltation of David's line through the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. This connection to David underscores the importance of this genealogy in the unfolding plan of redemption. Ram's inclusion in this list highlights the divine selection of certain individuals to fulfill God's redemptive purposes.

and Caleb
Caleb is the third son mentioned, and he is renowned for his faithfulness and courage, particularly in the narrative of the spies sent to Canaan. The name Caleb means "whole-hearted" or "faithful," reflecting his character as depicted in the biblical narrative. Caleb's legacy is one of unwavering trust in God's promises, serving as an inspiration for believers to remain steadfast in their faith. His mention here not only ties him to the tribe of Judah but also to the broader account of God's faithfulness to His people.

(9-41) The Hezronites, who were sons of Pharez (1Chronicles 2:5), and their three lines of descent, Jerahmeel, Ram, and Chelubai.

(9) Jerahmeel.--Godpitieth.

Ram.--Called Aram in our Lord's genealogy (Matthew 1) The two names are synonyms, both meaning high, and are used interchangeably in Job 32:2 (Ram) and Genesis 22:21 (Aram).

Chelubai.--Strictly, the Chelubite or Calebite, a gentilic term formed from Caleb (1Chronicles 2:18). This seems to show that we are concerned here not so much with individual sons of Hezron as with families or clans of Hezronites. . . .

Verse 9.-3. THE LINE OF JUDAH PURSUED THROUGH THE THREE BRANCHES OF HEZRON'S SONS. The track of genealogy then returns upon Pharez, and to the name of Hezron, the most important by far of the seven grandsons. His three sons are annou
