1Ch 9:34–44
1Now Benjamin # Ge 46:21; Nu 26:38 fathered Bela his firstborn,
Ashbel the second, Aharah the third,
2Nohah the fourth, and Rapha the fifth.
3The sons of Bela were
Addar, Gera, Abihud, 4Abishua, Naaman, Ahoah, 5Gera, Shephuphan, and Huram.
6These are the sons of Ehud, # Jdg 3:20–30 who were heads of fathers’ houses of those dwelling in Geba, and who exiled them to Manahath.
7So Ehud exiled Naaman, Ahijah, and Gera and then fathered Uzza and Ahihud.
8Shaharaim had sons in the country of Moab after he had sent away his wives Hushim and Baara. 9He had sons with his wife Hodesh, namely Jobab, Zibia, Mesha, Malkam, 10Jeuz, Sakia, and Mirmah. These were his sons, heads of the fathers’ houses. 11He also had sons by Hushim: Abitub and Elpaal.
12The sons of Elpaal were
Eber, Misham, Shemed (he built Ono and Lod with its towns), # Ezr 2:33; Ne 6:2 13Beriah, and Shema, who were heads of the fathers’ houses to those dwelling in Aijalon and who drove out the inhabitants of Gath,
14as well as Ahio, Shashak, Jeremoth, 15Zebadiah, Arad, Eder, 16Michael, Ishpah, and Joha, the sons of Beriah.
17Zebadiah, Meshullam, Hizki, Heber, 18Ishmerai, Izliah, and Jobab were the sons of Elpaal.
19Jakim, Zikri, Zabdi, 20Elienai, Zillethai, Eliel, 21Adaiah, Beraiah, and Shimrath were the sons of Shimei.
22Ishpan, Eber, Eliel, 23Abdon, Zikri, Hanan, 24Hananiah, Elam, Anthothijah, 25Iphdeiah, and Penuel were the sons of Shashak.
26Shamsherai, Shehariah, Athaliah, 27Jaareshiah, Elijah, and Zikri were the sons of Jeroham.
28These were heads of the fathers’ houses according to their generations, chief men who dwelt in Jerusalem.
29The father of Gibeon dwelt in Gibeon,
and Maacah was his wife’s name. 30His firstborn son was Abdon, along with Zur, Kish, Baal, Nadab, 31Gedor, Ahio, and Zeker. 32Mikloth also fathered Shimeah. Now these also dwelt in Jerusalem with their own families near their brothers.
33Ner fathered Kish; Kish the father of Saul; # 1Sa 9:1 Saul the father of Jonathan, Malki-Shua, Abinadab, and Esh-baal. # 1Sa 31:2; 2Sa 2:8
34Jonathan’s son was
Merib-baal, # 2Sa 4:4; 9:12 and Merib-baal fathered Micah.
35The sons of Micah were
Pithon, Melech, Tarea, and Ahaz.
36Ahaz fathered Jehoaddah, and Jehoaddah fathered Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri. Zimri fathered Moza, 37and Moza fathered Binea. Now Raphah was his son, Eleasah his son, and Azel his son.
38Azel had six sons, and their names were
Azrikam, Bokeru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan. All these were the sons of Azel.
39The sons of his brother Eshek were
Ulam his firstborn, Jeush the second, and Eliphelet the third. 40The sons of Ulam were mighty men of valor, even archers, and had many sons and grandsons, one hundred and fifty in all.
These were all the sons of Benjamin.
