Description
Who was Hezron?
Hezron was the son of Perez and the grandson of Judah, as recorded in Gen.46.12, Num.26.21, and 1Ch.2.5. He was born in Canaan and was one of the 70 members of Jacob's household who migrated to Egypt during the time of Joseph. Hezron's descendants formed a clan within the tribe of Judah, known as the Hezronites (Num.26.6, 21).
Hezron is mentioned in the genealogy of King David in Rut.4.18-19 and 1Ch.2.9-25. He is also listed in the genealogy of Jesus Christ in Mat.1.3 and Luk.3.33, emphasizing his importance in the lineage of the Messiah.
According to 1Ch.2.18-25, Hezron had several children, including Jerahmeel, Ram (the ancestor of King David), and Caleb. He married the daughter of Machir, the father of Gilead, in his old age and had a son named Segub, who became the father of Jair.
As a descendant of Judah and an ancestor of King David and Jesus Christ, Hezron played a significant role in the history of Israel and the fulfillment of God's promises to His people.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

Places
Where this happens
A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
