Caleb-ephratah; a place then so called by a conjunction of the names of the man and his wife; afterwards supposed to be called Beth-lehem Ephratah.

Abiah bare him Ashur, after the father’s death.



The father of Tekoa; a known place, 2Sa_14:2,4 Jer 6:1 Amo_1:1; whose father he is called, because he was either the progenitor of the people inhabiting there, or their prince and ruler, or the builder of the city.
