1 Chronicles 4
The Descendants of
Judah |
1 |
The sons of Judah; Pharez, Hezron, and
Carmi, and Hur, and Shobal.
|
2 |
And Re-ai'ah the son of Shobal begat
Jahath; and Jahath begat Ahu'mai, and Lahad. These are the
families of the Zo'rathites.
|
3 |
And these were of the father of
Etam; Jezreel, and Ishma, and Idbash: and the name of their sister was Hazelel-po'ni:
|
4 |
and Penu'el the father of Gedor, and Ezer
the father of Hushah. These are the sons of Hur, the
firstborn of Eph'ratah, the father of Bethlehem.
|
5 |
And Ashur the father of Teko'a had two
wives, Helah and Na'arah.
|
6 |
And Na'arah bare him Ahu'zam, and Hepher,
and Te'meni, and Ha-ahash'tari. These were the sons of
Na'arah.
|
7 |
And the sons of Helah were, Zereth, and Jezo'ar, and Ethnan.
|
8 |
And Coz begat Anub, and Zobe'bah, and the
families of Ahar'hel 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 Shu'ah begat
Mehir, which was the father of Eshton.
|
12 |
And Eshton begat Beth-ra'pha, and
Pase'ah, and Tehin'nah the father of Ir-na'hash. These are the men of Rechah.
|
13 |
And the sons of Kenaz; Oth'ni-el, and
Serai'ah: and the sons of Oth'ni-el; Hathath.
|
14 |
And Me-o'no-thai begat Ophrah: and
Serai'ah begat Jo'ab, the father of the valley of Char'ashim; for
they were craftsmen.
|
15 |
And the sons of Caleb the son of
Jephun'neh; Iru, Elah, and Na'am: and the sons of Elah, even
Kenaz.
|
16 |
And the sons of Jehal'eleel; Ziph, and
Ziphah, Tiri'a, and As'areel.
|
17 |
And the sons of Ezra were, Jether,
and Mered, and Epher, and Jalon: and she bare Miriam, and Sham'mai,
and Ishbah the father of Eshtemo'a.
|
18 |
And his wife Jehudi'jah bare Jered the
father of Gedor, and Heber the father of Socho, and Jeku'thi-el the
father of Zano'ah. And these are the sons of Bithi'ah the
daughter of Pharaoh, which Mered took.
|
19 |
And the sons of his wife Hodi'ah
the sister of Naham, the father of Kei'lah the Garmite, and
Eshtemo'a the Ma-ach'athite.
|
20 |
And the sons of Shimon were, Amnon, and Rinnah, Ben-ha'nan, and Tilon. And the sons of Ishi were, Zoheth, and Ben-zo'heth.
|
21 |
The sons of Shelah the son of Judah were, Er the father of Lecah, and La'adah the father of
Mare'shah, and the families of the house of them that wrought fine
linen, of the house of Ashbe'a,
|
22 |
and Jokim, and the men of Choze'ba, and
Jo'ash, and Saraph, who had the dominion in Moab, and
Ja'shubi-le'hem. 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.
|
The Descendants of
Simeon |
24 |
The sons of Simeon were, Nem'u-el, and Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Sha'ul:
|
25 |
Shallum his son, Mibsam his son, Mishma
his son.
|
26 |
And the sons of Mishma; Ham'u-el his son,
Zacchur his son, Shim'e-i his son.
|
27 |
And Shim'e-i 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 Beer-sheba, and
Mol'adah, and Ha'zar-shu'al,
|
29 |
and at Bilhah, and at Ezem, and at
Tolad,
|
30 |
and at Bethu'el, and at Hormah, and at
Ziklag,
|
31 |
and at Beth-mar'caboth, and
Ha'zar-su'sim, and at Beth-bir'ei, and at Sha-ara'im. These were their cities unto the reign of David.
|
32 |
And their villages were, Etam, and
A'in, Rimmon, and Tochen, and Ashan, five cities:
|
33 |
and all their villages that were round about the same cities, unto Ba'al. These were their
habitations, and their genealogy. Josh. 19.2-8
|
34 |
And Mesho'bab, and Jamlech, and Joshah
the son of Amazi'ah,
|
35 |
and Joel, and Jehu the son of Josibi'ah,
the son of Serai'ah, the son of A'si-el,
|
36 |
and Eli-oe'nai and Ja-ako'bah, and
Jeshohai'ah, and Asai'ah, and Ad'i-el, and Jesim'i-el, and
Benai'ah,
|
37 |
and Ziza the son of Shiphi, the son of
Allon, the son of Jedai'ah, the son of Shimri, the son of
Shemai'ah;
|
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 Hezeki'ah 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 Se'ir, having
for their captains Pelati'ah, and Ne-ari'ah, and Rephai'ah, and
Uz'zi-el, the sons of Ishi.
|
43 |
And they smote the rest of the
Amal'ekites that were escaped, and dwelt there unto this
day.
