Context of 1 Chronicles 2:24

22Segub was the father of Jair, who owned twenty-three cities in the land of Gilead. 23(Geshur and Aram captured the towns of Jair, along with Kenath and its sixty surrounding towns.) All these were descendants of Makir, the father of Gilead. After Hezron’s death, Caleb had sexual relations with Ephrath, his father Hezron’s widow, and she bore to him Ashhur the father of Tekoa. 25The sons of Jerahmeel, Hezron’s firstborn, were Ram, the firstborn, Bunah, Oren, Ozem, and Ahijah. 26Jerahmeel had another wife named Atarah; she was Onam’s mother.
