    3 And these were of the father of Etam; Jezreel, and Ishma, and Idbash:
    and the name of their sister was Hazelelponi:

    4 And Penuel the father of Gedor, and Ezer the father of Hushah. These
    are the sons of Hur, the firstborn of Ephratah, the father of Bethlehem.

    5 And Ashur the father of Tekoa had two wives, Helah and Naarah.

    6 And Naarah bare him Ahuzam, and Hepher, and Temeni, and Haahashtari.

    7 And the sons of Helah were, Zereth, and Jezoar, and Ethnan.

    8 And Coz begat Anub, and Zobebah, and the families of Aharhel the son
    of Harum.

    9 And Jabez was more honourable 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 Shuah begat Mehir, which was the father of Eshton.

    13 And the sons of Kenaz; Othniel, and Seraiah: and the sons of Othniel; Hathath.

    14 And Meonothai begat Ophrah: and Seraiah begat Joab, the father of the valley of Charashim; for they were craftsmen.

    18 And his wife Jehudijah bare Jered the father of Gedor, and Heber the
    father of Socho, and Jekuthiel the father of Zanoah. And these are the
    sons of Bithiah the daughter of Pharaoh, which Mered took.

    19 And the sons of his wife Hodiah the sister of Naham, the father of
    Keilah the Garmite, and Eshtemoa the Maachathite.

    20 And the sons of Shimon were, Amnon, and Rinnah, Benhanan, and Tilon.
    And the sons of Ishi were, Zoheth, and Benzoheth.

    21 The sons of Shelah the son of Judah were, Er the father of Lecah, and Laadah the father of Mareshah, and the families of the house of them
    that wrought fine linen, of the house of Ashbea,

    22 And Jokim, and the men of Chozeba, and Joash, and Saraph, who had the dominion in Moab, and Jashubilehem. 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.

    24 The sons of Simeon were, Nemuel, and Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul:

    25 Shallum his son, Mibsam his son, Mishma his son.

    26 And the sons of Mishma; Hamuel his son, Zacchur his son, Shimei his son.

    27 And Shimei 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 Beersheba, and Moladah, and Hazarshual,

    29 And at Bilhah, and at Ezem, and at Tolad,

    30 And at Bethuel, and at Hormah, and at Ziklag,

    31 And at Bethmarcaboth, and Hazarsusim, and at Bethbirei, and at
    Shaaraim. These were their cities unto the reign of David.

    32 And their villages were, Etam, and Ain, Rimmon, and Tochen, and
    Ashan, five cities:

    33 And all their villages that were round about the same cities, unto
    Baal. These were their habitations, and their genealogy.

    34 And Meshobab, and Jamlech, and Joshah the son of Amaziah,

    of Asiel,

    36 And Elioenai, and Jaakobah, and Jeshohaiah, and Asaiah, and Adiel,
    and Jesimiel, and Benaiah,

    37 And 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 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 Hezekiah 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 Seir, having for their captains Pelatiah, and Neariah, and
    Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.

    43 And they smote the rest of the Amalekites that were escaped, and
    dwelt there unto this day.

    1 Chronicles Chapter 5

    1 Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was the
    firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his birthright
    was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy
    is not to be reckoned after the birthright.

    2 For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief
    ruler; but the birthright was Joseph's:)

    3 The sons, I say, of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were, Hanoch, and
    Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

    4 The sons of Joel; Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,

    5 Micah his son, Reaia his son, Baal his son,

    6 Beerah his son, whom Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria carried away
    captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.

    7 And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy of their
    generations was reckoned, were the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,

    8 And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt
    in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baalmeon:

    9 And eastward he inhabited unto the entering in of the wilderness from
    the river Euphrates: because their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead.

    10 And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarites, who fell by
    their hand: and they dwelt in their tents throughout all the east land
    of Gilead.

    11 And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in the land of
    Bashan unto Salchah:

    12 Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat in Bashan.

    13 And their brethren of the house of their fathers were, Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan, and Zia, and Heber, seven.

    14 These are the children of Abihail the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah,
    the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of
    Jahdo, the son of Buz;

    15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the house of their fathers.

    16 And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in her towns, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, upon their borders.

    17 All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of
    Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

    18 The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh,
    of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with
    bow, and skilful in war, were four and forty thousand seven hundred and threescore, that went out to the war.

    19 And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Nephish, and Nodab.

    20 And they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered
    into their hand, and all that were with them: for they cried to God in
    the battle, and he was intreated of them; because they put their trust
    in him.

    21 And they took away their cattle; of their camels fifty thousand, and
    of sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and of asses two thousand, and
    of men an hundred thousand.

    22 For there fell down many slain, because the war was of God. And they
    dwelt in their steads until the captivity.

    23 And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land:
    they increased from Bashan unto Baalhermon and Senir, and unto mount Hermon.

    24 And these were the heads of the house of their fathers, even Epher,
    and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and
    Jahdiel, mighty men of valour, famous men, and heads of the house of
    their fathers.

    25 And they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went a
    whoring after the gods of the people of the land, whom God destroyed
    before them.

    26 And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria,
    and the spirit of Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them
    away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of
    Manasseh, and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the
    river Gozan, unto this day.
