Shuhah was a son of Caleb through his concubine Maacah. He is mentioned in Chronicles as the ancestor of Jerahmeel. Shuhah is part of the genealogy of the tribe of Judah and helps to show the rich family history of Caleb's family.
Shuah is placed within the broader context of the tribe of Judah's family record, tracing the descendants of Israel through Judah and further through Caleb.
3The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, and Shelah. These three were born to him by Bath-shua the Canaanite. Er, Judah's firstborn, was evil in the LORD's sight, and the LORD put him to death.
As descendants of Caleb, the faithful spy who followed the Lord wholeheartedly, Shuah and his siblings carry forward an important lineage in Israel's history.
6Then the people of Judah came to Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him: "You know what the LORD said to Moses, the man of God, at Kadesh-barnea concerning you and me.
7I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to scout out the land, and I brought him back a report just as I saw it in my heart.
9On that day Moses swore this oath: 'The land where you have set your foot will surely be your inheritance and your children's forever, because you have followed the LORD my God wholeheartedly.'
