Context — The Sons of Nahor
20Some time later, Abraham was told, “Milcah has also borne sons to your brother Nahor:
21Uz the firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel (the father of Aram),
22Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
23And Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight sons to Abraham’s brother Nahor. 24Moreover, Nahor’s concubine, whose name was Reumah, bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.Genesis 22:22 Summary
Genesis 22:22 lists the names of Nahor's sons, which might seem like just a list, but it's actually an important part of the Bible's story. It helps us understand the family connections of Abraham and how God worked through these families to bring about His promises (Genesis 12:1-3). This verse reminds us that every person, no matter how prominent or not, is part of God's larger plan. By looking at these names and their roles, we can see how God weaves together the stories of many people to fulfill His purposes (Romans 8:28).

Gill's Exposition on Genesis 22:22
And Chesed,.... From whom it is generally thought sprung the Chaldees, who are commonly called Chasdim; but mention is made of the Chaldees before this man was born, unless they are called so by
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Genesis 22:22
And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor; It was told Abraham ... Milcah, she hath also born

Ellicott's Commentary on Genesis 22:22
(22) Chesed.—He was not the ancestor of the ancient Chasdim or Chaldees, but possibly of the small tribe of robbers with the same name who plundered Job (Job 1:17). Of the rest, no trace remains in history.
Cambridge Bible on Genesis 22:22
22. Chesed] Presumably, not to be confounded with the ancestor of the S. Babylonian people, the Chasdim, or “Chaldees,” mentioned in Genesis 11:31 (P). More probably, the Bedouin tribe, mentioned in 2 Kings 24:2, Job 1:17, as “the Chaldeans,” quite distinct from the Chesed of Arpachshad (Genesis 10:22).
Whedon's Commentary on Genesis 22:22
22. Chesed — Supposed by some to have been the father of one branch of the Chasdim, or Chaldeans. But the Chaldees of chap. 11:28, appear to have been older than Abraham.
