Sheber (personal name of a Calebite)
This is the name of a Calebite man mentioned in the genealogies of Judah. He appears in 1 Chronicles 2:48 as one born to Caleb by his concubine Maacah. The name may be related to the Hebrew word for 'breaking' or 'fracture,' though as a proper name its meaning would be symbolic rather than literal. Such names sometimes commemorated circumstances of birth or expressed parental hopes. The genealogical context situates Sheber within the influential Calebite clan of Judah.
