[1] These are the sons of Israel: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Is′sachar, Zeb′ulun, [2] Dan, Joseph, Benjamin, Naph′tali, Gad, and Asher. [3] The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, and Shelah; these three Bath-shu′a the Canaanitess bore to him. Now Er, Judah's first-born, was wicked in the sight of the LORD, and he slew him. [4] His daughter-in-law Tamar also bore him Perez and Zerah. Judah had five sons in all. [5] The sons of Perez: Hezron and Hamul. [6] The sons of Zerah: Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Calcol, and Dara, five in all.

[9] The sons of Hezron, that were born to him: Jerah′meel, Ram, and Chelu′bai. [10] Ram was the father of Ammin′adab, and Ammin′adab was the father of Nahshon, prince of the sons of Judah. [11] Nahshon was the father of Salma, Salma of Bo′az, [12] Bo′az of Obed, Obed of Jesse. [13] Jesse was the father of Eli′ab his first-born, Abin′adab the second, Shim′e-a the third, [14] Nethan′el the fourth, Raddai the fifth, [15] Ozem the sixth, David the seventh; [16] and their sisters were Zeru′iah and Ab′igail. The sons of Zeru′iah: Abi′shai, Jo′ab, and As′ahel, three. [17] Ab′igail bore Ama′sa, and the father of Ama′sa was Jether the Ish′maelite. [18] Caleb the son of Hezron had children by his wife Azu′bah, and by Jer′ioth; and these were her sons: Jesher, Shobab, and Ardon. [19] When Azu′bah died, Caleb married Ephrath, who bore him Hur. [20] Hur was the father of Uri, and Uri was the father of Bez′alel. [21] Afterward Hezron went in to the daughter of Machir the father of Gilead, whom he married when he was sixty years old; and she bore him Segub; [22] and Segub was the father of Ja′ir, who had twenty-three cities in the land of Gilead. [23] But Geshur and Aram took from them Hav′voth-ja′ir, Kenath and its villages, sixty towns. All these were descendants of Machir, the father of Gilead. [24] After the death of Hezron, Caleb went in to Eph′rathah, the wife of Hezron his father, and she bore him Ashhur, the father of Teko′a. [25] The sons of Jerah′meel, the first-born of Hezron: Ram, his first-born, Bunah, Oren, Ozem, and Ahi′jah. [26] Jerah′meel also had another wife, whose name was At′arah; she was the mother of Onam. [27] The sons of Ram, the first-born of Jerah′meel: Ma′az, Jamin, and Eker. [28] The sons of Onam: Sham′mai and Jada. The sons of Sham′mai: Nadab and Abi′shur.

The sons of Ishi: Sheshan. The sons of Sheshan: Ahlai. [32] The sons of Jada, Sham′mai's brother: Jether and Jonathan; and Jether died childless. [33] The sons of Jonathan: Peleth and Zaza. These were the descendants of Jerah′meel. [34] Now Sheshan had no sons, only daughters; but Sheshan had an Egyptian slave, whose name was Jarha. [35] So Sheshan gave his daughter in marriage to Jarha his slave; and she bore him Attai. [36] Attai was the father of Nathan and Nathan of Zabad. [37] Zabad was the father of Ephlal, and Ephlal of Obed. [38] Obed was the father of Jehu, and Jehu of Azari′ah. [39] Azari′ah was the father of Helez, and Helez of Ele-a′sah. [40] Ele-a′sah was the father of Sismai, and Sismai of Shallum. [41] Shallum was the father of Jekami′ah, and Jekami′ah of Elish′ama. [42] The sons of Caleb the brother of Jerah′meel: Mare′shah his first-born, who was the father of Ziph. The sons of Mare′shah: Hebron. [43] The sons of Hebron: Korah, Tap′puah, Rekem, and Shema.

[49] She also bore Sha′aph the father of Madman′nah, Sheva the father of Machbe′nah and the father of Gib′e-a; and the daughter of Caleb was Achsah. [50] These were the descendants of Caleb. The sons of Hur the first-born of Eph′rathah: Shobal the father of Kir′iath-je′arim, [51] Salma, the father of Bethlehem, and Hareph the father of Beth-gader. [52] Shobal the father of Kir′iath-je′arim had other sons: Haro′eh, half of the Menu′hoth. [53] And the families of Kir′iath-je′arim: the Ithrites, the Puthites, the Shu′mathites, and the Mish′raites; from these came the Zo′rathites and the Esh′taolites. [54] The sons of Salma: Bethlehem, the Netoph′athites, At′roth-beth-jo′ab, and half of the Man′aha′thites, the Zorites.
