1 The sons of Judah: Perez, Hezron, Carmi, Hur, and Shobal.
2 Reaiah the son of Shobal was the father of Jahath; and Jahath was the father of Ahumai and Lahad. These were the families of the Zorathites.
3 These were the sons of Etam: Jezreel, Ishma, and Idbash; and the name of their sister was Hazzelelponi.
4 Penuel was the father of Gedor, and Ezer was the father of Hushah. These are the sons of Hur, the first-born of Ephrathah, the father of Bethlehem.
5 Ashhur the father of Tekoa had two wives, Helah and Naarah.
6 Naarah bore him Ahuzzam, Hepher, Temeni, and Haahashtari. These were the sons of Naarah.
7 The sons of Helah were Zereth, Izhar, Ethnan,
8 and Koz was the father of Anub, Zobebah, and the families of Aharhel the son of Harum.

9 Jabez was more honorable than his brothers; and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, "Because I bore him with such pain."
10 Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm, so that I will not suffer pain!" God granted him what he requested.
11 Kelub, the brother of Shuhah was the father of Mehir, who was the father of Eshton.
12 Eshton was the father of Beth-rapha, Paseah, and Tehinnah the father of Ir-nahash. These were the men of Recah.

13 The sons of Kenaz: Othniel and Seraiah. The sons of Othniel: Hathath and Meonothai.
14 Meonothai was the father of Ophrah; and Seraiah was the father of Joab the father of Ge-harashim; for they were craftsmen.
15 The sons of Caleb the son of Jephunneh: Iru, Elah, and Naam. The son of Elah and Kenaz.
16 The sons of Jehallelel: Ziph, Ziphah, Tiria, and Asarel.
17 The sons of Ezrah: Jether, Mered, Epher, and Jalon. Mered's wife Bithiah bore Miriam, Shammai, and Ishbah, the father of Eshtemoa.
18 His Judean wife bore Jered the father of Gedor, Heber the father of Soco, and Jekuthiel the father of Zanoah. These were the sons of Bithiah the daughter of Pharaoh, whom Mered married.
19 The sons of the wife of Hodiah, the sister of Naham, were the father of Keilah the Garmite, and Eshtemoa the Maacathite.
20 The sons of Shimon: Amnon, Rinnah, Ben-hanan, and Tilon. The sons of Ishi: Zoheth, and Ben-zoheth.
21 The sons of Shelah the son of Judah: Er the father of Lecah, Laadah the father of Mareshah, and the families of the house of those who make fine linen at Beth-Ashbea;
22 Jokim, and the men of Cozeba, and Joash, and Saraph, who had ruled in Moab, and Jashubi Lehem. These are from the ancient records.
23 These were the potters, and the inhabitants of Netaim and Gederah; they lived there with the king in his service.

24 The sons of Simeon: Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul;
25 his sons were Shallum, Mibsam, and Mishma.
26 The sons of Mishma: Hammuel, Zaccur, and Shimei.
27 Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters; but his brothers did not have many children, so their whole family was not as numerous as the descendants of Judah.
28 They livet at Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar-shual,
29 Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,
30 Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,
31 Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susim, Beth-biri, and Shaaraim. These were their cities until the reign of David.
32 Their villages were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Token, and Ashan,--five towns.
33 and all their villages surrounding these same towns, as far as the town of Baal. These were their settlements. They have their genealogical records.
34 Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah the son of Amaziah,
35 Joel, Jehu the son of Joshibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of Asiel,
36 Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah,
37 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 name were leaders in their families, and their clans increased greatly.
39 They went to the entrance of Gedor, even to the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.
40 They found good lush pasture, and the land was spacious, quiet, and peaceable; for they that lived there before were descendants of Ham.
41 These recorded by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and attacked their tents, and the Meunim who were found there. They totally destroyed them to this day, and settled in their place, because there was pasture there for their flocks.
42 Some of them, 500 from the tribe of Simeon, went to mount Seir, under the leadership of Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.
43 They destroyed the survivors of the Amalekites who had escaped, and live there to this day.
