The Sons of Israel and the Descendants of Judah
1 These are the sons of
Israel: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, 2 Dan, Joseph,
Benjamin, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. 3 The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, and
Shelah; these three the Canaanite woman Bath-shua bore to him. Now Er,
Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord, and he put him
to death. 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,F13
five in all. 7 The sons of Carmi: Achar, the troubler of Israel, who transgressed
in the matter of the devoted thing; 8 and Ethan's son was Azariah.
9 The sons of Hezron, who
were born to him: Jerahmeel, Ram, and Chelubai. 10 Ram became the father
of Amminadab, and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, prince of the
sons of Judah. 11 Nahshon became the father of Salma, Salma of Boaz, 12
Boaz of Obed, Obed of Jesse. 13 Jesse became the father of Eliab his firstborn,

17 Abigail bore Amasa, and the father of Amasa was Jether the Ishmaelite.
18 Caleb son of Hezron had
children by his wife Azubah, and by Jerioth; these were her sons: Jesher,
Shobab, and Ardon. 19 When Azubah died, Caleb married Ephrath, who bore
him Hur. 20 Hur became the father of Uri, and Uri became the father of
Bezalel.
21 Afterward Hezron went
in to the daughter of Machir father of Gilead, whom he married when he
was sixty years old; and she bore him Segub; 22 and Segub became the father
of Jair, who had twenty-three towns in the land of Gilead. 23 But Geshur
and Aram took from them Havvoth-jair, Kenath and its villages, sixty towns.
All these were descendants of Machir, father of Gilead. 24 After the death
of Hezron, in Caleb-ephrathah, Abijah wife of Hezron bore him Ashhur, father
of Tekoa. 25 The sons of Jerahmeel, the firstborn of Hezron: Ram his firstborn,
Bunah, Oren, Ozem, and Ahijah. 26 Jerahmeel also had another wife, whose
name was Atarah; she was the mother of Onam. 27 The sons of Ram, the firstborn
of Jerahmeel: Maaz, Jamin, and Eker. 28 The sons of Onam: Shammai and Jada.
The sons of Shammai: Nadab and Abishur. 29 The name of Abishur's wife was
Abihail, and she bore him Ahban and Molid. 30 The sons of Nadab: Seled
and Appaim; and Seled died childless. 31 The sonF14 of Appaim:
Ishi. The sonF15 of Ishi: Sheshan. The sonF16 of
Sheshan: Ahlai. 32 The sons of Jada, Shammai's brother: Jether and Jonathan;
and Jether died childless. 33 The sons of Jonathan: Peleth and Zaza. These
were the descendants of Jerahmeel. 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 his slave Jarha; and she bore him Attai.
36 Attai became the father of Nathan, and Nathan of Zabad. 37 Zabad became
the father of Ephlal, and Ephlal of Obed. 38 Obed became the father of
Jehu, and Jehu of Azariah. 39 Azariah became the father of Helez, and Helez
of Eleasah. 40 Eleasah became the father of Sismai, and Sismai of Shallum.
41 Shallum became the father of Jekamiah, and Jekamiah of Elishama.
42 The sons of Caleb brother
of Jerahmeel: MeshaF17 his firstborn, who was father of Ziph.
The sons of Mareshah father of Hebron. 43 The sons of Hebron: Korah, Tappuah,
Rekem, and Shema. 44 Shema became father of Raham, father of Jorkeam; and
Rekem became the father of Shammai. 45 The son of Shammai: Maon; and Maon
was the father of Beth-zur. 46 Ephah also, Caleb's concubine, bore Haran,
Moza, and Gazez; and Haran became the father of Gazez. 47 The sons of Jahdai:
Regem, Jotham, Geshan, Pelet, Ephah, and Shaaph. 48 Maacah, Caleb's concubine,
bore Sheber and Tirhanah. 49 She also bore Shaaph father of Madmannah,
Sheva father of Machbenah and father of Gibea; and the daughter of Caleb
was Achsah. 50 These were the descendants of Caleb.
The sonsF18 of
Hur the firstborn of Ephrathah: Shobal father of Kiriath-jearim, 51 Salma
father of Bethlehem, and Hareph father of Beth-gader. 52 Shobal father
of Kiriath-jearim had other sons: Haroeh, half of the Menuhoth. 53 And
the families of Kiriath-jearim: the Ithrites, the Puthites, the Shumathites,
and the Mishraites; from these came the Zorathites and the Eshtaolites.
54 The sons of Salma: Bethlehem, the Netophathites, Atroth-beth-joab, and
half of the Manahathites, the Zorites. 55 The families also of the scribes

Descendants of Simeon
24 The sons of Simeon: Nemuel,
Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, Shaul;F34 25 Shallum was his son, Mibsam
his son, Mishma his son. 26 The sons of Mishma: Hammuel his son, Zaccur
his son, Shimei his son. 27 Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters;
but his brothers did not have many children, nor did all their family multiply
like the Judeans. 28 They lived in Beer-sheba, Moladah, Hazar-shual, 29
Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad, 30 Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag, 31 Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susim,
Beth-biri, and Shaaraim. These were their towns until David became king.
32 And their villages were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan, five towns,
33 along with all their villages that were around these towns as far as
Baal. These were their settlements. And they kept a genealogical record.

increased greatly. 39 They journeyed to the entrance of Gedor, to the east
side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks, 40 where they found
rich, good pasture, and the land was very broad, quiet, and peaceful; for
the former inhabitants there belonged to Ham. 41 These, registered by name,
came in the days of King Hezekiah of Judah, and attacked their tents and
the Meunim who were found there, and exterminated them to this day, and
settled in their place, because there was pasture there for their flocks.
42 And some of them, five hundred men of the Simeonites, went to Mount
Seir, having as their leaders Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel,
sons of Ishi; 43 they destroyed the remnant of the Amalekites that had
escaped, and they have lived there to this day.

1 Chron. 5:11-22, Descendants
of Gad
11 The sons of Gad lived
beside them in the land of Bashan as far as Salecah: 12 Joel the chief,
Shapham the second, Janai, and Shaphat in Bashan. 13 And their kindred
according to their clans: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia,
and Eber, seven. 14 These were the sons of Abihail son of Huri, son of
Jaroah, son of Gilead, son of Michael, son of Jeshishai, son of Jahdo,
son of Buz; 15 Ahi son of Abdiel, son of Guni, was chief in their clan;
16 and they lived in Gilead, in Bashan and in its towns, and in all the
pasture lands of Sharon to their limits. 17 All of these were enrolled
by genealogies in the days of King Jotham of Judah, and in the days of
King Jeroboam of Israel.
18 The Reubenites, the Gadites,
and the half-tribe of Manasseh had valiant warriors, who carried shield
and sword, and drew the bow, expert in war, forty-four thousand seven hundred
sixty, ready for service. 19 They made war on the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish,
and Nodab; 20 and when they received help against them, the Hagrites and
all who were with them were given into their hands, for they cried to God
in the battle, and he granted their entreaty because they trusted in him.
21 They captured their livestock: fifty thousand of their camels, two hundred
fifty thousand sheep, two thousand donkeys, and one hundred thousand captives.
22 Many fell slain, because the war was of God. And they lived in their
territory until the exile. |

Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty warriors,
famous men, heads of their clans. 25 But they transgressed against the
God of their ancestors, and prostituted themselves to the gods of the peoples
of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.
26 So the God of Israel
stirred up the spirit of King Pul of Assyria, the spirit of King Tilgath-pilneser
of Assyria, and he carried them away, namely, the Reubenites, the Gadites,
and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara,
and the river Gozan, to this day.

Levitical Families
14 Of the Levites: Shemaiah
son of Hasshub, son of Azrikam, son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;
15 and Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal, and Mattaniah son of Mica, son of Zichri,
son of Asaph; 16 and Obadiah son of Shemaiah, son of Galal, son of Jeduthun,
and Berechiah son of Asa, son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of
the Netophathites.
17 The gatekeepers were:
Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman; and their kindred Shallum was the chief,
18 stationed previously in the king's gate on the east side. These were
the gatekeepers of the camp of the Levites. 19 Shallum son of Kore, son
of Ebiasaph, son of Korah, and his kindred of his ancestral house, the
Korahites, were in charge of the work of the service, guardians of the
thresholds of the tent, as their ancestors had been in charge of the camp
of the Lord, guardians of the entrance. 20 And Phinehas son of Eleazar
was chief over them in former times; the Lord was with him. 21 Zechariah
son of Meshelemiah was gatekeeper at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
22 All these, who were chosen as gatekeepers at the thresholds, were two
hundred twelve. They were enrolled by genealogies in their villages. David
and the seer Samuel established them in their office of trust. 23 So they
and their descendants were in charge of the gates of the house of the Lord,
that is, the house of the tent, as guards. 24 The gatekeepers were on the
four sides, east, west, north, and south; 25 and their kindred who were
in their villages were obliged to come in every seven days, in turn, to
be with them; 26 for the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were
in charge of the chambers and the treasures of the house of God. 27 And
they would spend the night near the house of God; for on them lay the duty
of watching, and they had charge of opening it every morning.
28 Some of them had charge
of the utensils of service, for they were required to count them when they
were brought in and taken out. 29 Others of them were appointed over the
furniture, and over all the holy utensils, also over the choice flour,
the wine, the oil, the incense, and the spices. 30 Others, of the sons
of the priests, prepared the mixing of the spices, 31 and Mattithiah, one
of the Levites, the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, was in charge of
making the flat cakes. 32 Also some of their kindred of the Kohathites
had charge of the rows of bread, to prepare them for each sabbath.
33 Now these are the singers,
the heads of ancestral houses of the Levites, living in the chambers of
the temple free from other service, for they were on duty day and night.
34 These were heads of ancestral houses of the Levites, according to their
generations; these leaders lived in Jerusalem. |
