Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerses 5-7. - Another before-mentioned person (1 Chronicles 2:24) is brought forward, viz. Ashur, the posthumous son of Hezron by Abia, now again, as there, styled father, or chief, of Tekoa, a town, as above, near Etam, Bethlehem, etc. He is brought forward that the names of his two wives, with four children to the latter of them and three to the former, may be given. The Roman Septuagint unaccountably gives different names to the mothers, and reverses the groups of the four and three children. Nothing else is known of these nine persons. The last two names of the group of four more resemble in form the name of the head of a family than an individual name; and for Jezoar, the middle name of the group of three, the easy Keri of "and Zohar" is followed by the Septuagint, and was followed by our 1611 Authorized Version.

Ellicott's Commentary for English ReadersFAMILIES THAT CAME OF ASH-HUR (1Chronicles 4:5-7).(5) And Ashur the father of Tekoa.--See 1Chronicles 2:24, and Notes. If Ashur means the Hurites, the two wives, Helah and Naarah, may designate two settlements of this great clan.(6) Hepher.--A district of southern Judah, near Tappuach (Joshua 12:17; 1Kings 4:10).Temeni is a Gentilic name, formed from the word Teman, "the south." This clan was called "the Southrons," and doubtless lived with the others in the south of Judah. . . .
