Hareph, a descendant of Caleb, was the father of Beth-gader, as mentioned in the genealogy of Judah.
Hareph was a man of the tribe of Judah, listed in 1 Chronicles 2:51 as a son of Hur and 'the father of Beth-gader,' meaning that his descendants founded or inhabited the town of Beth-gader. He belonged to the Calebite branch of Judah through Hur son of Caleb and Ephrathah. His name and the town he is associated with are among the many Judahite geographical traditions preserved in the extensive genealogical records of 1 Chronicles 2–4.
