דברי הימים א, פרק ד׳, פסוק ה׳

Genealogical records often pause to follow one primary family line before looping back to complete another. The historical account now returns to Ashhur, a figure previously introduced, to fill in the missing branches of his family tree. Ashhur is the son of Hezron and his wife Abijah. He is brought back into the narrative to detail his history and descendants, which were left unrecorded until this point.

The sequence of these records follows a specific logic. After finishing the detailed family line of his brother, Caleb the son of Hezron, the focus shifts back to Ashhur [מלבי״ם]. Ashhur was born under unique circumstances, as his mother Abijah gave birth to him after the death of his father Hezron. Consequently, he was raised by his brother Caleb and Caleb's wife Ephrathah. Because his personal lineage was set aside during the earlier account of his father's family, the record takes the opportunity to complete his history here.

As the account expands on his family, it lists his wives. One of these wives is named Helah. This name is likely derived from a root word meaning jewelry or an ornament, serving as a personal given name much like people use similar names today [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
