"And Chelub the brother of Shuhah begat Mehir, who was the father of Eshton. And Eshton begat Beth-rapha, and Paseah, and Tehinnah the father of Ir-nahash. These are the men of Recah." — 1 Chronicles 4:11-12 (ASV)
It has been conjectured from the unfamiliar nature of the names in this list that we have here a fragment of a Canaanite record. This record is connected with the family of Shua, whose daughter Judah married (1 Chronicles 2:3; Genesis 38:2), and whose family thereby became related to the tribe of Judah.
