Quick answer
Maacah also bore Shaaph (father of Madmannah) and Sheva (father of Machbena and Gibea), and Caleb's daughter was Achsah. It lists more descendants and names Caleb's daughter.
Overview
The towns of Madmannah and others tie these descendants to specific places in Judah's south. The mention of Achsah recalls the daughter of the more famous Caleb son of Jephunneh (Joshua 15:16-17), and the names overlap in Judah's tradition. The Chronicler preserves these associations, honoring both the persons and the places God gave His people.
