Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 2:53
The families of Kirjath-jearim; or, in Kirjath-jearim; all which descended from Shobal, . Of them, i.e. of the family of the Mishraites, last mentioned. The Eshtaulites; the inhabitants of two places called Zoreah and Eshtaol, .
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 2:53
(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.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 2:53
Verse 53. The families of Kirjath-jearim] "These were the children of Moses, which Zipporah bare to him, viz., the Jethrites, the Shumathites, and the Mishraites; of these came the disciples of the prophets Zarah and Eshtaol." - T.
