The Chronicler traces the descendants of Caleb son of Hezron through Mareshah Hebron Tappuah Rekem and Jorkeam — anchoring the Calebite clans across the southern Judean hill country around Hebron after the conquest settlement.
1 Chronicles 2:42-49 catalogs the eponymous descendants of Caleb son of Hezron who became the founding clans of the Judean hill country towns around Hebron: "Now the sons of Caleb the brother of Jerahmeel were, Mesha his firstborn, which was the father of Ziph; and the sons of Mareshah the father of Hebron... And the sons of Shema; Raham, the father of Jorkoam: and Rekem begat Shammai." The genealogy reads as a settlement record — each name traces a town or clan back to its Calebite founder, anchoring the southern Judean highlands in the family tree that conquered them.
