Miriam and Calev
Miriam married Calev, the son of Chetzron. Chazal teach that when she fell ill with tzaraas she was treated as if dead, and Calev, too, left her.
After she was healed, he remarried her. In his great rejoicing over her he seated her in a palanquin for the wedding procession. Then the Holy One, Blessed is He, restored her youth, and she bore Calev children. From her came Betzalel, and from Betzalel, Dovid.
