The sons of Judah; Pharez, Hezron, and Carmi, and Hur, and Shobal. |
| 2 | And Reaiah the son of Shobal begat

| 3 | And these
were of the father of Etam; Jezreel, and Ishma, and Idbash: and the name of
their sister was Hazelelponi: |
| 4
| And Penuel the father of Gedor, and Ezer the father of Hushah. These

| 5 | And Ashur the father of
Tekoa had two wives, Helah and Naarah. |

Ethnan. |
| 8 | And Coz begat
Anub, and Zobebah, and the families of Aharhel the son of Harum. |
| 9 | And Jabez was more honorable than
his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him
with sorrow. |
| 10 | And
Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me
indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that
thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him
that which he requested. |
| 11 |
And Chelub the brother of Shuah begat Mehir, which was the father of

men of Rechah. |
| 13 | And
the sons of Kenaz; Othniel, and Seraiah: and the sons of Othniel; Hathath. |
| 14 | And Meonothai begat
Ophrah: and Seraiah begat Joab, the father of the valley of Charashim; for they
were craftsmen. |
| 15 | And

Elah, even Kenaz. |
| 16 | And
the sons of Jehaleleel; Ziph, and Ziphah, Tiria, and Asareel. |

| 18 |
And his wife Jehudijah bare Jered the father of Gedor, and Heber the father of

| 21 | The sons
of Shelah the son of Judah were, Er the father of Lecah, and Laadah the father
of Mareshah, and the families of the house of them that wrought fine linen, of
the house of Ashbea, |
| 22 |
And Jokim, and the men of Chozeba, and Joash, and Saraph, who had the dominion
in Moab, and Jashubilehem. And these are ancient things. |
| 23 | These were the potters, and those that
dwelt among plants and hedges: there they dwelt with the king for his work. |
| 24 | The sons of Simeon were,
Nemuel, and Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul: |
| 25 | Shallum his son, Mibsam his son, Mishma his son. |
| 26 | And the sons of Mishma;
Hamuel his son, Zacchur his son, Shimei his son. |
|
27 | And Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters: but
his brethren had not many children, neither did all their family multiply, like
to the children of Judah. |
| 28 |
And they dwelt at Beersheba, and Moladah, and Hazarshual, |
| 29 | And at Bilhah, and at Ezem, and at
Tolad, |
| 30 | And at
Bethuel, and at Hormah, and at Ziklag, |
| 31 | And at Bethmarcaboth, and Hazarsusim, and at Bethbirei,
and at Shaaraim. These were their cities unto the reign of David. |
| 32 | And their villages were, Etam, and
Ain, Rimmon, and Tochen, and Ashan, five cities: |
|
33 | And all their villages that were round about the
same cities, unto Baal. These were their habitations, and their genealogy. |
| 34 | And Meshobab, and
Jamlech, and Joshah, the son of Amaziah, |
| 35 | And Joel, and Jehu the son of Josibiah, the son of
Seraiah, the son of Asiel, |

Jesimiel, and Benaiah, |
| 37 |
And Ziza the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah, the son
of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah; |
|
38 | These mentioned by their names were princes in their families:
and the house of their fathers increased greatly. |
|
39 | And they went to the entrance of Gedor, even unto
the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks. |
| 40 | And they found fat pasture and good,
and the land was wide, and quiet, and peaceable; for they of Ham had dwelt
there of old. |
| 41 | And
these written by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and smote
their tents, and the habitations that were found there, and destroyed them
utterly unto this day, and dwelt in their rooms: because there was pasture
there for their flocks. |
| 42 |
And some of them, even of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men, went to
mount Seir, having for their captains Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah, and
Uzziel, the sons of Ishi. |
| 43 |
And they smote the rest of the Amalekites that were escaped, and dwelt
there unto this day. |
