“These were the sons of Caleb, the son of Hur, the firstborn of Ephrathah The interpretation is: These were the sons of Caleb. בֶּן חוּר is like בְּנוֹ חוּר, his son was Hur, and that Hur was the firstborn of Ephrath, his wife, not the firstborn of Caleb, and so it is explained above (verse 19): “And Caleb took to himself Ephrath, and she bore him Hur.” Another explanation [is that] “for these were the sons of, etc.” Hur was Caleb’s son, and he begot a son whom he named Caleb, and this is its explanation: And these were the sons of Caleb the son of Hur: Shobal, etc. the firstborn of Ephrathah but not the firstborn of Caleb. This refers to Hur. So it appears to us.”

“Caleb, grandson of Calubi. (Vatable, &c.) — Sobal, his descendant, was prince of those who established themselves at Cariathiarim. (Calmet) — The Alexandrian Septuagint seems rather to assert that he was son of Hur, as well as those who follow. “The sons of Hur….Sobal….Salomon, father of Baithlammon, father of Bethleem.” But the editions vary.

The in-app commentary runs from the Fathers to the early-modern record, then stops — that's where the public-domain sources end, not where the reading does. For the modern reading, follow the sources directly.
