Caleb (son of Hezron)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Caleb was the great-grandfather of the architect Bezalel. He is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 2:18 as "Caleb son of Hezron". Per the context, Caleb was an Israelite by lineage, which (if the Kenizzite hypothesis holds) would make it implausible that he and Caleb the representative of Judah are the same person (even though the Talmud argues so in Sotah 11b).[1][2] 1 Samuel 25:3 states that Nabal, the husband of Abigail before David, was "of the house of Caleb". It is not stated whether this refers to one of the two Calebs mentioned in the Bible, or another person bearing the same name.
