Read 1 Chronicles 2 in context

Scripture Focus

18And Caleb the son of Hezron begat children of Azubah his wife, and of Jerioth: her sons are these; Jesher, and Shobab, and Ardon.

19And when Azubah was dead, Caleb took unto him Ephrath, which bare him Hur.

20And Hur begat Uri, and Uri begat Bezaleel.

21And afterward Hezron went in to the daughter of Machir the father of Gilead, whom he married when he was threescore years old; and she bare him Segub.

22And Segub begat Jair, who had three and twenty cities in the land of Gilead.

23And he took Geshur, and Aram, with the towns of Jair, from them, with Kenath, and the towns thereof, even threescore cities. All these belonged to the sons of Machir the father of Gilead.

24And after that Hezron was dead in Calebephratah, then Abiah Hezron's wife bare him Ashur the father of Tekoa.

1 Chronicles 2:18-24

Biblical Context

Caleb's line is traced through wives and sons, showing how family ties grow and alliances form, while the text also notes the expansion of land and towns as outcomes of that lineage.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, Caleb stands as steadfast faith in the I AM. Azubah and Jerioth are inner relations—memory, connection, and the willingness to begin again. Their sons, Jesher, Shobab, and Ardon, symbolize growing faculties you birth by attention. When Azubah dies, Caleb takes Ephrath, who bears Hur—an inner birth of power. Hur begat Uri, and Uri begat Bezaleel—crafts of mind and skill formed by consistent imagining. Hezron’s later union with Machir’s daughter, yielding Segub, marks mature alignment with Providence and expansion into new inner territories: Jair with its many cities. Segub’s line—Jair and the towns Kenath and others—maps the countless states of consciousness you can cultivate. After Hezron’s death at Calebephratah, Abiah bears Ashur, continuing the inner lineage. This is the mechanism by which your life is steadied: the I AM births forms, then uses them to settle, govern, and expand your world. Your practice: see these as states of consciousness you inhabit and revise any current lack into a thriving, harmonious line.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the I AM as Caleb on the throne of your inner family. Revise one relationship or project as a growing city, and feel the line of life expanding in you as if Jair and Segub are already yours.
