Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch Old Testament Commentary

And the sons of Hebron: Korah, and Tappuah, and Rekem, and Shema. One of these, Tappuah, is the name of a city in the tribe of Judah, Jos 15:34 and there is also Bethtappuah in the same tribe, Ch1 2:53 which one, or both, might have their name from this man; and Shema also, Ch1 2:26. . 1 Chronicles 2:44 ch1 2:44 ch1 2:44 ch1 2:44And Shema begat Raham, the father of Jorkoam,.... Which Hillerus (s) takes to be the name of a city in the tribe of Judah; and Jarchi's note is, that wherever the word "father" is here used, it is to be understood of the prince of a city that follows: and Rekem begat Shammai; there is a descendant of Jerahmeel, the brother of Caleb, of this name, Ch1 2:28. (s) Onomast. Sacr. p. 329.
