1 Chronicles 2:51

Salma the father of Bethlehem
Or prince of Bethlehem, as the Targum; not the same as in ( 1 Chronicles 2:11 ) he was the son of Nahshon, this of the younger Caleb:

Hareph, the father of Bethgader;
prince of a place of that name called Gedor, ( 1 Chronicles 4:4 ) , and where this man's name is Penuel; Gedor was in the tribe of Judah, ( Joshua 15:58 ) .
