Context of 1 Chronicles 2:25

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. 24After Hezron’s death, Caleb had sexual relations with Ephrath, his father Hezron’s widow, and she bore to him Ashhur the father of Tekoa. The 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. 27The sons of Ram, Jerahmeel’s firstborn, were Maaz, Jamin, and Eker.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 25And Ahijah - There is no “and” in the original. Hence, some would read: “the sons” were born “of” or “from Ahijah,” the first wife of Jerahmeel (see the next verse).Read the comment
