What does 1 Chronicles 2:18 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
18. Caleb the son of Hezron--The notices concerning this person appear confused in our version. In 1Ch 2:19 he is said to be the father of Hur, whereas in 1Ch 2:50 he is called "the son of Hur." The words in this latter passage have been transposed in the copying, and should be read thus, "Hur the son of Caleb." begat children of Azubah his wife, and of Jerioth--The former was his spouse, while Jerioth seems to have been a secondary wife, and the mother of the children whose names are here given. On the death of his principal wife, he married Ephrath, and by her had Hur [1Ch 2:19].

Adam Clarke's Commentary
Verse 18 Azubah - "And why was she called Azubah? Because she was barren and despised. But her injury was manifested before the Lord; and she was comforted, and adorned with wisdom; and she span, skilfully, goats' hair for the court of the tabernacle." - T.

A.M. 2534, etc. B.C. 1470, etc. Caleb.Caleb, [Kâlêb, ,] is the same as Chelubai, [Kelûwbay ,]; the latter simply having a [Vâv,] {wav} inserted, and a [Yôde,] {yood} affixed. This person must have lived some time before Israel left Egypt; for Bezaleel, the principal person employed in constructing the tabernacle, was his grandson.
