Hezron

Hezron was the son of Perez and the grandson of Judah, as recorded in Genesis 46:12, Numbers 26:21, and 1 Chronicles 2:5. He was born in Canaan and was one of the 70 members of Jacob's household who migrated to Egypt during the time of Joseph. Hezron's descendants formed a clan within the tribe of Judah, known as the Hezronites (Num.26.6, 21).

Hezron is mentioned in the genealogy of King David in Ruth 4:18–19 and 1 Chronicles 2:9–25. He is also listed in the genealogy of Jesus Christ in Matthew 1:3 and Luke 3:33, emphasizing his importance in the lineage of the Messiah.

According to 1 Chronicles 2:18–25, Hezron had several children, including Jerahmeel, Ram (the ancestor of King David), and Caleb. He married the daughter of Machir, the father of Gilead, in his old age and had a son named Segub, who became the father of Jair.

As a descendant of Judah and an ancestor of King David and Jesus Christ, Hezron played a significant role in the history of Israel and the fulfillment of God's promises to His people.
