And the sons of Appaim: Ishi. And the sons of Ishi: Sheshan. And the sons of Sheshan: Ahlai.
The text about Caleb appears tangled in our version: he is called father of Hur in one place and son of Hur in another. The latter passage has been copied wrong and should read 'Hur the son of Caleb.' Azubah was his wife; Jerioth was a secondary wife, mother of those children named.

Commenting on 1 Chronicles 2:18-55
Judah kept their genealogies better than any other tribe, a special providence of God, to clear the line of Christ. Hezron was one of the seventy who went down to Egypt with Jacob, and his family multiplied there as the oppressed families did; the Jews say he married three times because he burned to see posterity in the house of Pharez, from whom the Messiah would come.

Ahlai was no son but a daughter, Sheshan's heiress; since he had no male children, he gave her to an Egyptian slave to wife, and she bore him the numerous descendants traced here, the term 'children' in genealogies means descendants generally, not sons alone.
