Eshton; personal name in Judah's genealogy
A personal name in the genealogies of Judah, appearing in the lineage of Chelub. The etymology may relate to a root meaning 'effeminate' or 'uxorious' (devoted to one's wife), though this remains speculative. The name appears only in the detailed genealogical records preserved in 1 Chronicles.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Eshton appears twice in rapid succession in 1 Chronicles 4:11-12 as part of Judah's descendant list, identified as related to Chelub and as the father of Beth-rapha, Paseah, and Tehinnah. Ancient translations simply transliterate the name (Eston, Eshton), treating it as an opaque personal designation. The genealogical context provides no additional information about this individual beyond his placement in Judah's family tree, and the suggested etymology from אֵשֶׁת (wife) remains uncertain. 2×
