Jotham
Who he was

Caleb's descendants are listed, including his great-grandson Jahdai (1 Chronicles 2:47). Jotham is named as one of the six sons of Jahdai, along with Regem, Jotham, Geshan, Pelet, Ephah, and Shaaph (1 Chronicles 2:47).
No further information is provided about Jotham's life, occupation, or role within the family or tribe. His mention serves to complete the genealogical record of Caleb's descendants.
