The sons of Israel were Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Dan, Joseph, Benjamin, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. Judah’s sons were Er, Onan, and Shelah. A Canaanite woman, the daughter of Shua, was their mother. Judah’s first son, Er, did what the LORD said was wicked, so the LORD put him to death. Judah’s daughter-in-law Tamar gave birth to Perez and Zerah. Judah was the father, so Judah had five sons. Perez’s sons were Hezron and Hamul. Zerah had five sons: Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Calcol, and Darda. Carmi’s son was Achan, who caused trouble for Israel because he took things that had been given to the LORD to be destroyed.

Caleb and Azubah’s sons were Jesher, Shobab, and Ardon. When Azubah died, Caleb married Ephrath. They had a son named Hur, who was the father of Uri, who was the father of Bezalel. Later, when Hezron was sixty years old, he married the daughter of Makir, Gilead’s father. Hezron had sexual relations with Makir’s daughter, and she had a son named Segub. Segub was the father of Jair. Jair controlled twenty-three cities in the country of Gilead. (But Geshur and Aram captured the Towns of Jair, as well as Kenath and the small towns around it—sixty towns in all.) All these were descendants of Makir, the father of Gilead. After Hezron died in Caleb Ephrathah, his wife Abijah had his son, named Ashhur. Ashhur became the father of Tekoa. Hezron’s first son was Jerahmeel. Jerahmeel’s sons were Ram, Bunah, Oren, Ozem, and Ahijah. Ram was Jerahmeel’s first son.
