Notes

1 Chronicles 4:13–15

The name Kenaz also appears as a descendant of Esau through Eliphaz (Genesis 36:11). Kenaz's descendants are known as the Kenizzites. The Kenizzites lived in the southern part of the land and had ties with Judah and Edom. Caleb, son of Jephunneh, was a Kenizzite (Numbers 32:12; Joshua 14:6) and had a brother named Kenaz (Joshua 15:17), whose family is listed here.

1 Chronicles 4:9–20

The exact family trees of Judah's remaining descendants are unknown. The Chronicler likely had incomplete information.
