1 Chronicles 2:1-55 TLB
[1] The sons of Israel were: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Dan, Joseph, Benjamin, Naphtali, Gad, Asher. [3] Judah had three sons by Bathshua, a girl from Canaan: Er, Onan, and Shelah. But the oldest son, Er, was so wicked that the Lord killed him. [4] Then Er's widow, Tamar, and her father-in-law, Judah, became the parents of twin sons, Perez and Zerah. So Judah had five sons. [5] The sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul. [6] The sons of Zerah were: Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Calcol, and Dara. [7] (Achan, the son of Carmi, was the man who robbed God and was such a troublemaker for his nation.) [8] Ethan's son was Azariah. [9] The sons of Hezron were Jerahmeel, Ram, and Chelubai. [10] Ram was the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab was the father of Nahshon, a leader of Israel. [11] Nahshon was the father of Salma, and Salma was the father of Boaz. [12] Boaz was the father of Obed, and Obed was the father of Jesse. [13] Jesse's first son was Eliab, his second was Abinadab, his third was Shimea, [14] his fourth was Nethanel, his fifth was Raddai, [15] his sixth was Ozem, and his seventh was David. [16] He also had two girls (by the same wife) named Zeruiah and Abigail. Zeruiah's sons were Abishai, Joab, and Asahel. [17] Abigail, whose husband was Jether from the land of Ishmael, had a son named Amasa. [18] Caleb (the son of Hezron) had two wives, Azubah and Jerioth. These are the children of Azubah: Jesher, Shobab, and Ardon. [19] After Azubah's death, Caleb married Ephrath, who presented him with a son, Hur. [20] Hur's son was Uri, and Uri's son was Bezalel. [21] Hezron married Machir's daughter at the age of sixty, and she presented him with a son, Segub. (Machir was also the father of Gilead.) [22] Segub was the father of Jair, who ruled twenty-three cities in the land of Gilead. [23] But Geshur and Aram wrested these cities from him and also took Kenath and its sixty surrounding villages. [24] Soon after his father Hezron's death, Caleb married Ephrathah, his father's widow, and she gave birth to Ashhur, the father of Tekoa. [25] These are the sons of Jerahmeel (the oldest son of Hezron): Ram (the oldest), Bunah, Oren, Ozem, and Ahijah. [26] Jerahmeel's second wife Atarah was the mother of Onam. [27] The sons of Ram: Maaz, Jamin, and Eker. [28] Onam's sons were Shammai and Jada. Shammai's sons were Nadab and Abishur. [29] The sons of Abishur and his wife Abihail were Ahban and Molid. [30] Nadab's sons were Seled and Appaim. Seled died without children, [31] but Appaim had a son named Ishi; Ishi's son was Sheshan; and Sheshan's son was Ahlai. [32] Shammai's brother Jada had two sons, Jether and Jonathan. Jether died without children, [33] but Jonathan had two sons named Peleth and Zaza. [34] Sheshan had no sons, although he had several daughters. He gave one of his daughters to be the wife of Jarha, his Egyptian servant. And they had a son whom they named Attai. [36] Attai's son was Nathan; Nathan's son was Zabad; [37] Zabad's son was Ephlal; Ephlal's son was Obed; [38] Obed's son was Jehu; Jehu's son was Azariah; [39] Azariah's son was Helez; Helez's son was Eleasah; [40] Eleasah's son was Sismai; Sismai's son was Shallum; [41] Shallum's son was Jekamiah; Jekamiah's son was Elishama. [42] The oldest son of Caleb (Jerahmeel's brother) was Mesha; he was the father of Ziph, who was father of Mareshah, who was the father of Hebron. [43] The sons of Hebron: Korah, Tappuah, Rekem, and Shema. [44] Shema was the father of Raham, who was the father of Jorkeam. Rekem was the father of Shammai. [45] Shammai's son was Maon, the father of Bethzur. [46] Caleb's concubine Ephah bore him Haran, Moza, and Gazez; Haran had a son named Gazez. [47] The sons of Jahdai: Regem, Jotham, Geshan, Pelet, Ephah, and Shaaph. [48] Another of Caleb's concubines, Maacah, bore him Sheber, Tirhanah, Shaaph (the father of Madmannah), and Sheva (the father of Machbenah and of Gibea). Caleb also had a daughter, whose name was Achsah. [50] The sons of Hur (who was the oldest son of Caleb and Ephrathah) were Shobal (the father of Kiriath-jearim), [51] Salma (the father of Bethlehem), and Hareph (the father of Beth-gader). [52] Shobal's sons included Kiriath-jearim and Haroeh, the ancestor of half of the Menuhoth tribe. [53] The families of Kiriath-jearim were the Ithrites, the Puthites, the Shumathites, and the Mishraites (from whom descended the Zorathites and Eshtaolites). [54] The descendants of Salma were his son Bethlehem, the Netophathites, Atrothbeth-joab, half the Manahathites, and the Zorites; [55] they also included the families of the writers living at Jabez-the Tirathites, Shimeathites, and Sucathites. All these are Kenites who descended from Hammath, the founder of the family of Rechab.
