4. LE TRIBU' MERIDIONALI

Giuda, Sobal

4 Figli di Giuda: Perez, Chezròn, Carmì, Cur e Sobal. 2 Reaia figlio di Sobal generò Iacat; Iacat generò Acumài e Laad. Queste sono le famiglie degli Zoreatei.

Cur

3 Questi furono i figli del padre di Etam: Izreèl, Isma e Ibdas; la loro sorella si chiamava Azlelpòni. 4 Penuel fu padre di Ghedor; Ezer fu padre di Cusa. Questi furono i figli di Cur il primogenito di Efrata padre di Betlemme.

Ascur

5 Ascùr padre di Tekòa aveva due mogli, Chelea e Naara. 6 Naara gli partorì Acuzzàm, Chefer, il Temanita e l'Acastarita; questi furono figli di Naara. 7 Figli di Chelea: Zeret, Zocar, Etnan e Koz.

8 Koz generò Anub, Azzobebà e le famiglie di Acarchè, figlio di Arum. 9 Iabez fu più onorato dei suoi fratelli; sua madre l'aveva chiamato Iabez poiché diceva: «Io l'ho partorito con dolore». 10 Iabez invocò il Dio di Israele dicendo: «Se tu mi benedicessi e allargassi i miei confini e la tua mano fosse con me e mi tenessi lontano dal male sì che io non soffra!». Dio gli concesse quanto aveva chiesto.

Caleb

11 Chelub, fratello di Sucà, generò Mechir, che fu padre di Eston. 12 Eston generò Bet-Rafa, Paseach e Techinna, padre di Ir-Nacàs. Questi sono gli uomini di Reca.

13 Figli di Kenaz: Otniel e Seraià; figli di Otniel: Catat e Meonotài. 14 Meonotài generò Ofra; Seraià generò Ioab, padre della valle degli artigiani, poiché erano artigiani. 15 Figli di Caleb, figlio di Iefunne: Ir, Ela e Naam. Figli di Ela: Kenaz.

16 Figli di Ieallelèl: Zif, Zifa, Tiria e Asarèl. 17 Figli di Ezra: Ieter, Mered, Efer e Ialon. Partorì Miriam, Sammài e Isbach, padre di Estemoà. 18 Sua moglie, la Giudea, partorì Ieter padre di Ghedor, Cheber padre di Soco e Iekutièl padre di Zanòach. Questi invece sono i figli di Bitia, figlia del faraone, che Mered aveva presa in moglie.

19 Figli della moglie Odaia, sorella di Nacam, padre di Keilà il Garmita e di Estemoà il Maacateo. 20 Figli di Simone: Ammòn, Rinna, Ben-Canan e Tilon. Figli di Iseì: Zochet e Ben-Zochet.

Sela

21 Figli di Sela, figlio di Giuda: Er padre di Leca, Laadà padre di Maresà, e le famiglie dei lavoratori del bisso in Bet-Asbèa, 22 Iokim e la gente di Cozeba, Ioas e Saraf, che dominarono in Moab e poi tornarono in Betlemme. Ma si tratta di fatti antichi. 23 Erano vasai e abitavano a Netàim e a Ghederà; abitavano là con il re, al suo servizio.

Simeone

24 Figli di Simeone: Nemuèl, Iamin, Iarib, Zerach, Saul, 25 di cui fu figlio Sallùm, di cui fu figlio Mibsàm, di cui fu figlio Misma. 26 Figli di Misma: Cammuèl, di cui fu figlio Zaccur, di cui fu figlio Simei. 27 Simei ebbe sedici figli e sei figlie, ma i suoi fratelli ebbero pochi figli; le loro famiglie non si moltiplicarono come quelle dei discendenti di Giuda. 28 Si stabilirono in Bersabea, in Molada, in Cazar-Sual, 29 in Bila, in Ezem, in Tolad, 30 in Betuel, in Corma, in Ziklàg, 31 in Bet-Marcabòt, in Cazar-Susìm, in Bet-Bireì e in Saaràim. Queste furono le loro città fino al regno di Davide. 32 Loro villaggi erano Etam, Ain, Rimmòn, Tochen e Asan: cinque città 33 e tutti i villaggi dei loro dintorni fino a Baal. Questa era la loro sede e questi i loro nomi nei registri genealogici.

34 Mesobàb, Iamlech, Iosa figlio di Amasia, 35 Gioele, Ieu figlio di Iosibià, figlio di Seraià, figlio di Asièl, 36 Elioenài, Iaakòba, Iesocàia, Asaia, Adièl, Iesimièl, Benaià, 37 Ziza figlio di Sifei, figlio di Allon, figlio di Iedaià, figlio di Simrì, figlio di Semaià. 38 Questi, elencati per nome, erano capi nelle loro famiglie; i loro casati si estesero molto. 39 Andarono verso l'ingresso di Ghedor fino a oriente della valle in cerca di pascoli per i greggi. 40 Trovarono pascoli pingui e buoni; la regione era estesa, tranquilla e quieta.

Prima vi abitavano i discendenti di Cam. 41 Ma gli uomini di cui sono stati elencati i nomi, al tempo di Ezechia, re di Giuda, assalirono e sbaragliarono le tende di Cam e i Meuniti, che si trovavano là; li votarono allo sterminio, che è durato fino ad oggi, e ne occuparono il posto poiché era ricco di pascoli per i greggi.

42 Alcuni di loro, fra i discendenti di Simeone, andarono sulle montagne di Seir: cinquecento uomini, guidati da Pelatià, Nearia, Refaia e Uzzièl, figli di Iseì. 43 Eliminarono i superstiti degli Amaleciti e si stabilirono là fino ad oggi.

Descendants of Judah

4 (A)The sons of Judah were Perez, Hezron, Carmi, Hur, and Shobal. 2 Reaiah the son of Shobal fathered Jahath, and Jahath fathered Ahumai and Lahad. These were the families of the Zorathites. 3 These were the [a]sons of Etam: Jezreel, Ishma, and Idbash; and the name of their sister was Hazzelelponi. 4 Penuel was the father of Gedor, and Ezer the father of Hushah. These were the sons of Hur, the firstborn of Ephrathah, the father of Bethlehem. 5 Ashhur, the father of Tekoa, had two wives, Helah and Naarah. 6 Naarah bore to him Ahuzzam, Hepher, Temeni, and Haahashtari. These were the sons of Naarah. 7 The sons of Helah were Zereth, [b]Izhar, and Ethnan. 8 Koz fathered Anub and Zobebah, and the families of Aharhel, the son of Harum. 9 Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother named him Jabez, saying, “Because I gave birth to him in pain.” 10 Now Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that You would greatly bless me and extend my border, and that Your hand might be with me, and that You would [c]keep me from harm so that it would not hurt me!” And God brought about what he requested.

11 Chelub the brother of Shuhah fathered Mehir, who was the father of Eshton. 12 Eshton fathered Beth-rapha and Paseah, and Tehinnah the father of [d]Ir-nahash. These are the men of Recah.

13 Now the sons of Kenaz were Othniel and Seraiah. And the sons of Othniel were Hathath and Meonothai. 14 Meonothai fathered Ophrah, and Seraiah fathered Joab the father of [e]Ge-harashim, for they were craftsmen. 15 The sons of Caleb the son of Jephunneh were Iru, Elah, and Naam; and the [f]son of Elah was [g]Kenaz. 16 The sons of Jehallelel were Ziph and Ziphah, Tiria and Asarel. 17 The [h]sons of Ezrah were Jether, Mered, Epher, and Jalon. And Mered’s wife conceived and gave birth to [i]Miriam, Shammai, and Ishbah the father of Eshtemoa. 18 (His Jewish wife gave birth to Jered, the father of Gedor, Heber the father of Soco, and Jekuthiel the father of Zanoah.) [j]These were the sons of Bithia the daughter of Pharaoh, whom Mered [k]married. 19 The sons of the wife of Hodiah, the sister of Naham, were the [l]fathers of Keilah the Garmite and Eshtemoa the Maacathite. 20 The sons of Shimon were Amnon and Rinnah, and Benhanan and Tilon. And the sons of Ishi were Zoheth and Ben-zoheth. 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 the linen workers at Beth-ashbea; 22 and Jokim, the men of Cozeba, Joash, Saraph, who ruled in Moab, and Jashubi-lehem. And the [m]records are ancient. 23 These were the potters and the inhabitants of Netaim and Gederah; they lived there with the king for his work.

Descendants of Simeon

24 The sons of Simeon were [n]Nemuel and Jamin, [o]Jarib, [p]Zerah, and Shaul; 25 Shallum was his son, Mibsam his son, and Mishma his son. 26 The sons of Mishma were Hammuel his son, Zaccur his son, and Shimei his son. 27 Now Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters; but his brothers did not have many sons, nor did all their family increase like the sons of Judah. 28 They lived in Beersheba, Moladah, and Hazar-shual, 29 in Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad, 30 Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag, 31 Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susim, Beth-biri, and Shaaraim. These were their cities until the reign of David. 32 Their villages were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan, five cities, 33 and all their settlements that were around the same cities as far as [q]Baal. These were their dwellings, and they have their genealogy.

34 Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah the son of Amaziah, 35 Joel, Jehu the son of Joshibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of Asiel, 36 and Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, 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 [r]mentioned by name were leaders in their families; and their fathers’ houses spread out greatly. 39 They went to the entrance of Gedor, as far as the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks. 40 They found pasture that was rich and good, and (B)the land was spread out on both sides, and peaceful and undisturbed; for those who lived there previously were Hamites. 41 (C)These people, recorded by name, came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and they [s]attacked their tents and the Meunites who were found there, and utterly destroyed them to this day; and they lived in their place, because there was pasture there for their flocks. 42 From them, from the sons of Simeon, five hundred men went to (D)Mount Seir, with Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, as their leaders. 43 (E)They [t]destroyed the remnant of the Amalekites who escaped, and they have lived there to this day.
