Commentary on the Old Testament
C. F. Keil & F. Delitzsch · 19th-century historical commentary
Source: BibleWord.ai's local reference edition of this named work.
Of Iru, Elah, and Naam, the sons of Caleb the son of Jephunneh (cf. on Ch1 4:13), nothing more is known. To connect Elah with the Edomite chief of that name ( Ch1 1:52) is arbitrary. Of Elah's sons only "and Kenaz" is mentioned; the ו copul. before קנז shows clearly that a name has been dropped out before it. 1 Chronicles 4:16
