Concise Bible Dictionary:

Families descended from Shobal and Salina, sons of Caleb (1 Chron. 2:52, 54⁵²And Shobal the father of Kirjath-jearim had sons; Haroeh, and half of the Manahethites. (1 Chronicles 2:52)
⁵⁴The sons of Salma; Bethlehem, and the Netophathites, Ataroth, the house of Joab, and half of the Manahethites, the Zorites. (1 Chronicles 2:54)). The Hebrew is different in the two verses; in 1 Chronicles 2:5⁵The sons of Pharez; Hezron, and Hamul. (1 Chronicles 2:5)2 The RV has “Menuhoth.” Mr. Darby treats “half of” as part of the proper name, giving Hazi-Hammenuhoth in 1 Chronicles 2:52⁵²And Shobal the father of Kirjath-jearim had sons; Haroeh, and half of the Manahethites. (1 Chronicles 2:52), and Hazi-Hammanahethites in 1 Chronicles 2:54⁵⁴The sons of Salma; Bethlehem, and the Netophathites, Ataroth, the house of Joab, and half of the Manahethites, the Zorites. (1 Chronicles 2:54).
