Elevated. (1.) The youngest son of Hiel the Bethelite. His death is recorded in 1 Kings 16:34 (comp. Josh. 6:26).
(2.) A descendant of Judah (1 Chr. 2:21, 22).
Segub
Segub is a name tucked into a family line. Hezron, a descendant of Judah through Pharez, married the daughter of Machir “when he was threescore years old,” and she bore him Segub. Segub in turn fathered Jair, who had “three and twenty cities in the land of Gilead.” Nothing more is said about Segub himself; he stands as the link between a father and a son whose cities are remembered. Names like his fill the opening chapters of 1 Chronicles, where each is set down in order, one generation after another.
