Tekoa - A known place whose father he is called, because he was either the progenitor of the people inhabiting there: or, their prince and ruler: or, the builder of the city.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
Caleb-ephratah--so called from uniting the names of husband and wife (1Ch 2:19), and supposed to be the same as was afterwards called Beth-lehem-ephratah. Ashur, the father of Tekoa-- (2Sa 14:2-4). He is called the father, either from his being the first founder, or perhaps the ruler, of the city.
