48 Caleb’s (dog) concubine Maacah (oppression) was the mother of Sheber (breaking) and Tirhanah (favor).

49 She was also the mother of Shaaph (division) father of Madmannah (dunghill), and of Sheva (YHWH contends) father of Machbenah (bond) and Gibea (hill). Caleb’s (dog) daughter was Acsah (anklet).

50 These were the descendants of Caleb (dog). The sons [son] of Hur (hole) the firstborn of Ephrathah (Ephrath): Shobal (flowing) the father of Kiriath-jearim (city of forests),

51 Salma (garment) the father of Bethlehem (house of bread), and Hareph (a plucking off) the father of Beth-gader (house of the wall).

52 These were the descendants of Shobal (flowing) the father of Kiriath-jearim (city of forests): Haroeh (vision), half the Manahathites (rest),

53 and the clans of Kiriath-jearim (city of forests)—the Ithrites (a remnant), Puthites (openess), Shumathites (the exalted), and Mishraites (touching evil). From these descended the Zorathites and Eshtaolites (I will be entreated).

54 The descendants of Salma (garment): Bethlehem (house of bread), the Netophathites, Atroth-beth-joab (crowns of the house of Joab), half the Manahathites (rest), the Zorites,

55 and the clans of the scribes (of the Sopherites) who lived at Jabez (sorrow)—the Tirathites (men of the gate), Shimeathites, and Sucathites (bush-men). These are the Kenites (smiths) who came from Hammath (hot spring), the father of the house of Rechab (the father of Beth-rekab).
