Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 2:45
A place in Judah, , See Poole on "".
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 2:45
(42-55) These verses revert to the Calebite stocks. Interpreted as merely bearing upon the extraction of individuals about whom, for the most part, nothing whatever is known beyond what these brief notices reveal, the section presents great difficulties. The key to it appears to be the assumption that it is an ancient record of the relations between certain great branches of the tribe of Judah, and their various settlements; in other words, these lists are tribal and topographical, rather than genealogical.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 2:45
45. Maon] Nabal who was a Calebite lived at the town of Maon (1 Samuel 25:2-3). It is improbable that Maon was ever used as the name of a person; cp. Buchanan Gray, Hebrew Proper Names, pp. 127, 8. See note on 1 Chronicles 2:42.
