1 Chronicles 4:11 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 4:11

And Chelub the brother of Shuah begat Mehir
If Shuah is the same with Hushah, ( 1 Chronicles 4:4 ) , then Chelub was the son of Ezer:

which was the father of Eshton;
not the prince of a place called Eshton, as Vatablus; for it is the name of a man, the son of Mehir, and who in the next verse is said to beget sons.
