Kenizzites were Canaanites ( Genesis 15:18-21 ). Judah 's first wife, Shua, was a Canaanite woman( Genesis 28:2 , 12 ). She bore him Er, Onan , and Shelah ( 1 Chronicles 2:3 ) but Er and Onan died. Ergo, it is likely Caleb is descended from Shelah. (mentioned in Genesis 15 , Genesis 28 , Numbers 13 )
