And the sons of Caleb the son of Jephunneh, etc.] Jephunneh is not the same with Hezron, as the Targum, but another son of Kenaz, hence called the Kenezite, (<061406>Joshua 14:6) and brother of Othniel; and Caleb his son is the same that was sent one of the spies of the land of Canaan by Moses, (see <041306>Numbers 13:6 14:6) his sons were Iru, Elah, and Naam; of whom we nowhere else read: and the sons of Elah, even Kenaz; another Kenaz, or rather it should be read Uknaz; so Jarchi and Kimchi.
