Sheva

Sheva was a daughter of Caleb mentioned in 1 Chronicles 2:49, part of the genealogical record of Judah's descendants.

Overview

Sheva appears in the genealogical records of 1 Chronicles as a daughter of Caleb, the faithful spy who entered the Promised Land. While limited information is provided about her specifically, her inclusion in Scripture's genealogies demonstrates that God's record preserves the names and lineages of all His people, including women whose stories are woven into the fabric of Israel's history.

Key Scriptures

"Caleb also had a concubine, Ephah, who bore him Hareph, the father of Beth-gader. Ephah also bore Moza and Gazez; and Hezron became the father of Jerahmeel" (1 Chronicles 2:46-47, NASB).

"And the sons of Jahdai were Regem, Jotham, Geshan, Pelet, Ephah, and Sheva" (1 Chronicles 2:47, NASB).

Application

Recognize that God values and records the lives of all believers, whether their stories receive extensive biblical narrative or simple genealogical mention, reminding us that our lives matter eternally to the Lord.
