1 Chronicles 2:19
17 Abigail was the mother of Amasa, whose father was Jether the Ishmaelite.
18 Caleb son of Hezron had children by his wife Azubah and by Jerioth. These were the sons of Azubah: Jesher, Shobab, and Ardon.
When Azubah died, Caleb married Ephrath, who bore to him Hur.
20 Hur was the father of Uri, and Uri was the father of Bezalel.
21 Later, Hezron slept with the daughter of Machir the father of Gilead. He had married her when he was sixty years old, and she bore to him Segub.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
