“1 Now Benjamin begat Bela his firstborn, Ashbel the second, and
Aharah the third, 2 Nohah the fourth, and Rapha the fifth. 3 And the
sons of Bela were, Addar, and Gera, and Abihud, 4 And Abishua, and
Naaman, and Ahoah, 5 And Gera, and Shephuphan, and Huram. 6 And these
[are] the sons of Ehud: these are the heads of the fathers of the
inhabitants of Geba, and they removed them to Manahath: 7 And Naaman,
and Ahiah, and Gera, he removed them, and begat Uzza, and Ahihud. 8 And
Shaharaim begat [children] in the country of Moab, after he had sent
them away; Hushim and Baara [were] his wives. 9 And he begat of Hodesh
his wife, Jobab, and Zibia, and Mesha, and Malcham, 10 And Jeuz, and
Shachia, and Mirma. These [were] his sons, heads of the fathers. 11 And
of Hushim he begat Abitub, and Elpaal. 12 The sons of Elpaal; Eber, and
Misham, and Shamed, who built Ono, and Lod, with the towns thereof: 13
Beriah also, and Shema, who [were] heads of the fathers of the
inhabitants of Aijalon, who drove away the inhabitants of Gath: 14 And
Ahio, Shashak, and Jeremoth, 15 And Zebadiah, and Arad, and Ader, 16 And
Michael, and Ispah, and Joha, the sons of Beriah; 17 And Zebadiah, and
Meshullam, and Hezeki, and Heber, 18 Ishmerai also, and Jezliah, and
Jobab, the sons of Elpaal; 19 And Jakim, and Zichri, and Zabdi, 20 And
Elienai, and Zilthai, and Eliel, 21 And Adaiah, and Beraiah, and
Shimrath, the sons of Shimhi; 22 And Ishpan, and Heber, and Eliel, 23
And Abdon, and Zichri, and Hanan, 24 And Hananiah, and Elam, and
Antothijah, 25 And Iphedeiah, and Penuel, the sons of Shashak; 26 And
Shamsherai, and Shehariah, and Athaliah, 27 And Jaresiah, and Eliah, and
Zichri, the sons of Jeroham. 28 These [were] heads of the fathers, by
their generations, chief [men]. These dwelt in Jerusalem. 29 And at
Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon; whose wife’s name [was] Maachah: 30
And his firstborn son Abdon, and Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Nadab, 31
And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zacher. 32 And Mikloth begat Shimeah. And these
also dwelt with their brethren in Jerusalem, over against them.”
“33 And Ner begat Kish, and Kish begat Saul, and Saul begat Jonathan,
and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal. 34 And the son of Jonathan
[was] Meribbaal; and Meribbaal begat Micah. 35 And the sons of Micah
[were], Pithon, and Melech, and Tarea, and Ahaz. 36 And Ahaz begat
Jehoadah; and Jehoadah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri
begat Moza, 37 And Moza begat Binea: Rapha [was] his son, Eleasah his
son, Azel his son: 38 And Azel had six sons, whose names [are] these,
Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan. All
these [were] the sons of Azel. 39 And the sons of Eshek his brother
[were], Ulam his firstborn, Jehush the second, and Eliphelet the third.
40 And the sons of Ulam were mighty men of valour, archers, and had many
sons, and sons’ sons, an hundred and fifty. All these [are] of the sons
of Benjamin.” (1 Chronicles 8:1-40 AV)
