Naam was a son of Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, from the tribe of Judah. He is briefly mentioned in 1 Chronicles as part of Caleb's lineage. Although little is known about his personal actions, he is part of the important lineage of Caleb, one of the twelve spies who remained faithful to God.
14So Hebron has belonged to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite as an inheritance to this day, because he followed the LORD, the God of Israel, wholeheartedly.
Naam's father, Caleb, was one of the two spies who trusted God's promise to give the Israelites the Promised Land, a trait that characterized his entire lineage.
9Only do not rebel against the LORD, and do not be afraid of the people of the land, for they are bread for us. Their protection is gone, and the LORD is with us. Do not fear them."
13To Caleb son of Jephunneh, Joshua gave a portion among the people of Judah, as the LORD had commanded him: Kiriath Arba, that is, Hebron—Arba being the ancestor of Anak.
