Plural of Hezronite; members of a clan or tribal division descended from Hezron, mentioned in Biblical genealogies and lists.
From Hezron (a Biblical name) + -ites (a suffix forming names of peoples or tribal groups), following the pattern used throughout the Old Testament for clan names.
The Hezronites were one of many ancient Israeli tribal divisions, and their genealogies were so important that they were recorded in multiple places in the Bible—basically the ancient version of family trees.
