1 Chronicles 4:4

Ver. 4. And Penuel the father of Gedor,.... The prince of that place, according to some, and the same with Hareph, 1Ch 2:51,

and Ezer the father of Hushah: thought to be the same with Shuah, 1Ch 4:11,

these are the sons of Hur, the firstborn of Ephratah: Caleb's wife, 1Ch 2:19 the Targum adds, the same with Miriam; and so other Jewish writers {x} say, Miriam had two names, and one was Ephratah; though Josephus makes {y} Hur to be her husband, and not her son, as here:

who was the father of Bethlehem; of the inhabitants of that city, at least part of them, or prince of that place, as his grandson Salma also was, 1Ch 2:51.

{x} Shemot Rabba, sect. 1. fol. 90. 4. Yalkut in 1 Chron. ii. 19. {y} Antiqu. l. 3. c. 2.
