Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

And the sons of Jehaleleel,.... Who probably was the son of Uknaz:
Ziph, and Ziphah, Tiria, and Asareel; there were two cities in the tribe of Judah of the name of Ziph, Joshua 15:24, which might be called from these men, or from Ziph in 1-Chronicles 2:42.

Descendants of various men, whose genealogical connection with the sons and grandsons of Judah, mentioned in 1-Chronicles 4:1, is not given in the text as it has come to us.

Sons of Jehaleleel, a man not elsewhere mentioned. Ziph, Ziphah, etc., are met with only here. There is no strong reason for connecting the name זיף with the towns of that name, Joshua 15:24, Joshua 15:55.
