[1] The sons of Judah: Perez, Hezron, Carmi, Hur, and Shobal. [2] Re-ai'ah
the son of Shobal was the father of Jahath, and Jahath was the father of
Ahu'mai and Lahad. These were the families of the Zo'rathites. [3] These
were the sons of Etam: Jezreel, Ishma, and Idbash; and the name of their
sister was Hazzelelpo'ni, [4] and Penu'el was the father of Gedor, and Ezer
the father of Hushah. These were the sons of Hur, the first-born of
Eph'rathah, the father of Bethlehem. [5] Ashhur, the father of Teko'a, had
two wives, Helah and Na'arah; [6] Na'arah bore him Ahuz'zam, Hepher,
Te'meni, and Ha-ahash'tari. These were the sons of Na'arah. [7] The sons of
Helah: Zereth, Izhar, and Ethnan. [8] Koz was the father of Anub, Zobe'bah,
and the families of Ahar'hel the son of Harum. [9] Jabez was more honorable
than his brothers; and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, "Because I
bore him in pain." [10] Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that
thou wouldst bless me and enlarge my border, and that thy hand might be
with me, and that thou wouldst keep me from harm so that it might not hurt
me!" And God granted what he asked. [11] Chelub, the brother of Shuhah, was
the father of Mehir, who was the father of Eshton. [12] Eshton was the
father of Bethra'pha, Pase'ah, and Tehin'nah the father of Irna'hash. These
are the men of Recah. [13] The sons of Kenaz: Oth'ni-el and Serai'ah; and
the sons of Oth'ni-el: Hathath and Meo'nothai. [14] Meo'nothai was the
father of Ophrah; and Serai'ah was the father of Jo'ab the father of
Ge-har'ashim, so-called because they were craftsmen. [15] The sons of Caleb
the son of Jephun'neh: Iru, Elah, and Na'am; and the sons of Elah: Kenaz.
[16] The sons of Jehal'lelel: Ziph, Ziphah, Tir'i-a, and As'arel. [17] The
sons of Ezrah: Jether, Mered, Epher, and Jalon. These are the sons of
Bith'i-ah, the daughter of Pharaoh, whom Mered married; and she conceived
and bore Miriam, Sham'mai, and Ishbah, the father of Eshtemo'a. [18] And
his Jewish wife bore Jered the father of Gedor, Heber the father of Soco,
and Jeku'thiel the father of Zano'ah. [19] The sons of the wife of Hodi'ah,
the sister of Naham, were the fathers of Kei'lah the Garmite and Eshtemo'a
the Ma-ac'athite. [20] The sons of Shimon: Amnon, Rinnah, Ben-ha'nan, and
Tilon. The sons of Ishi: Zoheth and Ben-zo'heth. [21] The sons of Shelah
the son of Judah: Er the father of Lecah, La'adah the father of Mare'shah,
and the families of the house of linen workers at Beth-ashbe'a; [22] and
Jokim, and the men of Coze'ba, and Jo'ash, and Saraph, who ruled in Moab
and returned to Lehem (now the records are ancient). [23] These were the
potters and inhabitants of Neta'im and Gede'rah; they dwelt there with the
king for his work. [24] The sons of Simeon: Nem'uel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah,
Sha'ul; [25] Shallum was his son, Mibsam his son, Mishma his son. [26] The
sons of Mishma: Ham'mu-el his son, Zac'cur his son, Shim'e-i his son. [27]
Shim'e-i had sixteen sons and six daughters; but his brothers had not many
children, nor did all their family multiply like the men of Judah. [28]
They dwelt in Beer-sheba, Mola'dah, Ha'zar-shu'al, [29] Bilhah, Ezem,
Tolad, [30] Bethu'el, Hormah, Ziklag, [31] Beth-mar'caboth, Ha'zar-su'sim,
Beth-biri, and Sha-ara'im. These were their cities until David reigned.
[32] And their villages were Etam, A'in, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan, five
cities, [33] along with all their villages which were round about these
cities as far as Ba'al. These were their settlements, and they kept a
genealogical record. [34] Mesho'bab, Jamlech, Joshah the son of Amazi'ah,
[35] Jo'el, Jehu the son of Joshibi'ah, son of Serai'ah, son of As'i-el,
[36] Eli-o-e'nai, Ja-ako'bah, Jeshohai'ah, Asai'ah, Ad'i-el, Jesim'iel,
Benai'ah, [37] Ziza the son of Shiphi, son of Allon, son of Jedai'ah, son
of Shimri, son of Shemai'ah-- [38] these mentioned by name were princes in
their families, and their fathers' houses increased greatly. [39] They
journeyed to the entrance of Gedor, to the east side of the valley, to seek
pasture for their flocks, [40] where they found rich, good pasture, and the
land was very broad, quiet, and peaceful; for the former inhabitants there
belonged to Ham. [41] These, registered by name, came in the days of
Hezeki'ah, king of Judah, and destroyed their tents and the Me-u'nim who
were found there, and exterminated them to this day, and settled in their
place, because there was pasture there for their flocks. [42] And some of
them, five hundred men of the Simeonites, went to Mount Se'ir, having as
their leaders Pelati'ah, Ne-ari'ah, Rephai'ah, and Uz'ziel, the sons of
Ishi; [43] and they destroyed the remnant of the Amal'ekites that had
escaped, and they have dwelt there to this day.
