And Othoniel the son of Kenaz Caleb's younger brother took it. It is certain that Othoniel obtained the victory: but whether be were Caleb's brother, or his brothers son or some other kin to him it cannot be gathered by these words. But how they were kin it were good to know, partly for the knowledge of the history & partly to understand whether the matrimony which followed between Othoniel and Achsah were lawful. In the first book of Paralip. 1and second chap. the father of Caleb is called Hesron, which man was the third from Judah: for Judah had Pharez by Tamar his sons wife: and Phares begat Hefron, which was called by an other name Jephuna, for which cause Caleb is very often written the son of Jephuna. 2Of which thing I can not tell what fond invention R. Salo. writeth, namely that he was so called, because he disagreed from the mind and counsel of the other spies. Panah signifieth in Hebrew to depart or to decline, wherefore he thinketh that this surname was given to Caleb for the cause now alleged. Neither maketh that any thing against it (as he saith) that he is called the son of Jephuna, 3when as in the holy scriptures it is a common use, that this phrase, the son of death & the son of perdition, are all one with these, he is worthy of death, and a man lost. And by the same kind of speech (saith he) the son of declination & turning away is all one in this place, as if he had ben called declining & turning away from the counsel & wicked will of the rest of the spies. I will not deny peradventure but that this opinion of R. S. is pretty,4 but yet I think it maketh nothing to the purpose. For other seem to speak more simply which say that Hesron was also called Jephuna. Wherefore Caleb was sometimes called the son of Jephuna and sometimes the son of Hesron, neither is it a rare thing or unheard of in the holy scripture, that some one man should be called by two names. Now we see what Caleb was, namely the fourth from Judah the son of Jacob: wherefore we must speak somewhat of Othoniel. He is here written to be the son of Kenaz, and so is he likewise in the book of Joshua, 5and also in the first book of Paralip. and iiii. chap.
