Ang Lipi ni Juda
4 Kabilang ang mga ito sa mga anak ni Juda: sina Peres, Hezron, Carmi, Hur at Sobal. 2 Anak ni Sobal si Reaias na ama ni Jahat. Anak naman ni Jahat sina Ahumai at Lahad. Ito ang angkan ng mga Zorita.
3-4 Si Hur ang panganay ni Efrata na asawa ni Caleb at ang kanyang mga apo ang nagtatag ng lunsod ng Bethlehem. Tatlo ang anak na lalaki ni Hur: sina Etam, Penuel, at Ezer. Ang mga anak na lalaki[a] naman ni Etam ay sina Jezreel, Isma at Idbas. Hazzelelponi ang pangalan ng kapatid nilang babae. Si Penuel ang nagtatag ng lunsod ng Gedor, at si Ezer naman ang nagtatag ng Husa.
5 Si Asur na nagtatag ng bayan ng Tekoa ay may dalawang asawa, sina Hela at Naara. 6 Naging anak ni Asur kay Naara sina Ahuzam, Hefer, Temeni at Haahastari. 7 Naging anak naman niya kay Hela sina Zeret, Izar at Etnan. 8 Si Coz ang ama ni Anub at Zobeba, at ng mga angkan ni Aharhel na anak ni Harum.
9 Si Jabes ay higit na marangal kaysa mga kapatid niya. Jabes[b] ang ipinangalan sa kanya sapagkat sabi ng kanyang ina, “Masyado akong nahirapan nang ipanganak ko siya.” 10 Ngunit nanalangin si Jabes sa Diyos ng Israel at sinabi: “Pagpalain po ninyo ako! Palawakin ninyo ang aking lupain. Samahan po ninyo ako at ingatan sa anumang kasawiang makakasakit sa akin.” At ipinagkaloob ng Diyos ang kanyang kahilingan.
Iba pang Listahan ng mga Angkan
11 Si Caleb na kapatid ni Suha ang ama ni Mehir na ama naman ni Eston. 12 Si Eston ang ama nina Beth-rafa, Pasea at Tehina na siyang nagtatag ng lunsod ng Nahas. Ang mga apo nila ang nanirahan sa Reca.
13 Mga anak ni Kenaz sina Otniel at Seraias, at mga anak naman ni Otniel sina Hatat at Meonotai. 14 Si Meonotai ang ama ni Ofra, at si Seraias naman ang ama ni Joab na nagtatag ng Libis ng mga Panday, sapagkat ang mga nakatira roon ay mga panday. 15 Ang mga anak ni Caleb na anak ni Jefune ay sina Iru, Ela at Naam. Ang anak naman ni Ela ay si Kenaz. 16 Mga anak naman ni Jehalelel sina Zif, Sifa, Tirias at Asarel.
17 Ang mga anak ni Ezra ay sina Jeter, Mered, Efer at Jalon. Ang mga anak ni Mered kay Bitia na anak ng Faraon ay sina Miriam, Samai at Isba na siyang nagtatag ng Estemoa. 18 Sa asawa naman niyang taga-Juda, naging anak ni Mered si Jered na nagtatag ng Gedor, si Heber na nagtatag ng Soco at si Jecutiel na nagtatag ng Zanoa. 19 Ang pinagmulan ng mga Garmita na nanirahan sa Keila at ng mga Maacateo na nanirahan sa Estemoa ay ang mga anak ni Hodias sa asawa na kapatid na babae ni Naham. 20 Ang mga anak ni Simon ay sina Amnon, Rina, Benhanan at Tilon. Mga anak naman ni Isi sina Zohet at Ben-zohet.
Ang Angkan ni Sela
21 Ang mga anak ni Sela na anak ni Juda ay sina Er na nagtatag ng Leca, si Laada na nagtatag ng Maresa, at ang mga angkang humahabi ng telang lino sa Beth-asbea. 22 Siya rin ang ama ni Joquim, at ng mga taga-Cozeba, gayundin nina Joas at Saraf. Ang mga ito ay nagkaasawa sa Moab bago nagbalik at nanirahan sa Bethlehem. (Napakatagal na ang mga pangyayaring ito.) 23 Ang mga ito'y magpapalayok at tumira sa Netaim at Gedera, bilang mga lingkod ng hari.
Ang Lipi ni Simeon
24 Ang mga anak ni Simeon ay sina Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zera at Saul. 25 Anak ni Saul si Sallum, at apo niya si Mibsan. Anak naman ni Mibsan si Misma. 26 Mga anak ni Misma sina Hamuel, Zacur at Simei. 27 Labing-anim ang anak na lalaki ni Simei at anim naman ang babae. Ngunit kaunti lamang ang anak ng kanyang mga kapatid kaya hindi lumaki ang kanilang angkan tulad ng kay Juda.
28 Ito(A) ang mga lunsod na tinirhan nila: Beer-seba, Molada, Hazar-shual, 29 Bilha, Ezem, Tolad, 30 Bethuel, Horma, Ziklag, 31 Beth-marcabot, Hazar-susim, Beth-biri, at Saaraim. Ito ang kanilang mga lunsod hanggang maging hari si David. 32 Kanila rin ang limang lunsod ng Etam, Ain, Rimon, Toquen at Asan, 33 pati ang mga nayon sa paligid nito hanggang sa bayan ng Baalat. Ito ang talaan na kanilang iniingatan tungkol sa kanilang mga angkan at mga lugar na kanilang tinirhan. Habang sila'y narito, mayroon silang sariling talaan ng kanilang angkan.
34-38 Ito ang mga naging pinuno ng kanilang mga angkan: Mesobab, Jamlec at Josa na anak ni Amazias; sina Joel at Jehu na mga anak ni Josibias na anak ni Seraias na anak naman ni Asiel; sina Elioenai, Jaacoba, Jesohaias, Asaias, Adiel, Jesimiel, at Benaias. Kabilang din si Ziza na anak ni Sifi na anak naman ni Allon. Si Allon ay anak ni Jedaias na anak ni Simri na anak naman ni Semaias.
Patuloy sa paglaki ang kanilang mga angkan, 39 kaya't kumalat sila sa dakong silangan, at sa paghahanap ng pastulan ay umabot sila hanggang sa kapatagan ng Gedor. 40 Nakatagpo sila ng magandang pastulan, malawak, tahimik at payapa. Mga Hamita ang dating nakatira sa lugar na iyon. 41 Ang nabanggit na angkang ito ni Simeon ang sumalakay sa mga Hamita nang panahong naghahari si Ezequias sa Juda. Winasak nila ang lugar na iyon, nilipol ang mga Meunim na naroon at sila ang tumira, sapagkat maganda ang pastulan doon. 42 Sa mga sumalakay na ito, limandaan pang tauhan ni Simeon ang patuloy na lumusob sa kaburulan ng Seir sa pangunguna nina Pelatias, Nearias, Refaias at Uziel, mga anak ni Isi. 43 Nilipol nila ang mga natirang Amalekita na tumakas patungo roon. Hanggang ngayo'y sila ang nakatira doon.

9 Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez,[c] saying, “I gave birth to him in pain.” 10 Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request.
11 Kelub, Shuhah’s brother, was the father of Mehir, who was the father of Eshton. 12 Eshton was the father of Beth Rapha, Paseah and Tehinnah the father of Ir Nahash.[d] These were the men of Rekah.

The sons of Othniel:
Hathath and Meonothai.[e] 14 Meonothai was the father of Ophrah.

Simeon(L)
24 The descendants of Simeon:(M)
Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib,(N) Zerah and Shaul;
25 Shallum was Shaul’s son, Mibsam his son and Mishma his son.
26 The descendants of Mishma:
Hammuel his son, Zakkur his son and Shimei his son.
27 Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brothers did not have many children; so their entire clan did not become as numerous as the people of Judah. 28 They lived in Beersheba,(O) Moladah,(P) Hazar Shual, 29 Bilhah, Ezem,(Q) Tolad, 30 Bethuel, Hormah,(R) Ziklag,(S) 31 Beth Markaboth, Hazar Susim, Beth Biri and Shaaraim.(T) These were their towns until the reign of David. 32 Their surrounding villages were Etam, Ain,(U) Rimmon, Token and Ashan(V)—five towns— 33 and all the villages around these towns as far as Baalath.[g] These were their settlements. And they kept a genealogical record.
34 Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah son of Amaziah, 35 Joel, Jehu son of Joshibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of Asiel, 36 also Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah, 37 and Ziza son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah, the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah.
38 The men listed above by name were leaders of their clans. Their families increased greatly, 39 and they went to the outskirts of Gedor(W) to the east of the valley in search of pasture for their flocks. 40 They found rich, good pasture, and the land was spacious, peaceful and quiet.(X) Some Hamites had lived there formerly.
41 The men whose names were listed came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. They attacked the Hamites in their dwellings and also the Meunites(Y) who were there and completely destroyed[h] them, as is evident to this day. Then they settled in their place, because there was pasture for their flocks. 42 And five hundred of these Simeonites, led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, invaded the hill country of Seir.(Z) 43 They killed the remaining Amalekites(AA) who had escaped, and they have lived there to this day.

4 Judah’s descendants were Perez, Hezron, Carmi, Hur, and Shobal.
2 Reaiah was Shobal’s son. Reaiah was the father of Jahath, and Jahath was the father of Ahumai and Lahad. They were the family groups of the Zorathite people.
3-4 Hur was the oldest son of Caleb and his wife Ephrathah. Hur was the leader of Bethlehem. His three sons were Etam, Penuel, and Ezer. Etam’s sons were Jezreel, Ishma, and Idbash. They had a sister named Hazzelelponi. Penuel was the father of Gedor, and Ezer was the father of Hushah.

9 There was a man named Jabez, who was respected more than his brothers. His mother named him Jabez[a] because she said, “I was in much pain when I gave birth to him.” 10 Jabez prayed to the God of Israel, “Please do good things for me and give me more land. Stay with me, and don’t let anyone hurt me. Then I won’t have any pain.” And God did what Jabez had asked.
11 Kelub, Shuhah’s brother, was the father of Mehir. Mehir was the father of Eshton. 12 Eshton was the father of Beth Rapha, Paseah, and Tehinnah. Tehinnah was the father of the people from the town of Nahash. These people were from Recah.
13 The sons of Kenaz were Othniel and Seraiah.
Othniel’s sons were Hathath and Meonothai. 14 Meonothai was the father of Ophrah.
Seraiah was the father of Joab. Joab was the ancestor of the people from Craftsmen’s Valley, named that because the people living there were craftsmen.
15 Caleb was Jephunneh’s son. Caleb’s sons were Iru, Elah, and Naam. Elah’s son was Kenaz.
16 Jehallelel’s sons were Ziph, Ziphah, Tiria, and Asarel.
17-18 Ezrah’s sons were Jether, Mered, Epher, and Jalon. Mered married Bithiah, the daughter of the king of Egypt. The children of Mered and Bithiah were Miriam, Shammai, and Ishbah. Ishbah was the father of Eshtemoa. Mered also had a wife from Judah, who gave birth to Jered, Heber, and Jekuthiel. Jered became the father of Gedor. Heber became the father of Soco. And Jekuthiel became the father of Zanoah.
19 Hodiah’s wife was Naham’s sister. The sons of Hodiah’s wife were Eshtemoa and the father of Keilah. Keilah was from the Garmite people, and Eshtemoa was from the Maacathite people.
20 Shimon’s sons were Amnon, Rinnah, Ben-Hanan, and Tilon.
Ishi’s sons were Zoheth and Ben-Zoheth.
21-22 Shelah was Judah’s son. Shelah’s sons were Er, Laadah, Jokim, the men from Cozeba, Joash, and Saraph. Er was the father of Lecah. Laadah was the father of Mareshah and the family groups of linen workers at Beth Ashbea. Joash and Saraph ruled in Moab and Jashubi Lehem. The writings about this family are very old. 23 These sons of Shelah were potters. They lived in Netaim and Gederah and worked for the king.
Simeon’s Children
24 Simeon’s sons were Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul. 25 Shaul’s son was Shallum. Shallum’s son was Mibsam. Mibsam’s son was Mishma.
26 Mishma’s son was Hammuel. Hammuel’s son was Zaccur. Zaccur’s son was Shimei. 27 Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brothers did not have many children, so there were not as many people in their family group as there were in Judah.
28 Shimei’s children lived in Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar Shual, 29 Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad, 30 Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag, 31 Beth Marcaboth, Hazar Susim, Beth Biri, and Shaaraim. They lived in these cities until David became king. 32 The five villages near these cities were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Token, and Ashan. 33 There were also other villages as far away as Baalath. This is where they lived. And they wrote the history of their family.
34-38 The men in this list were leaders of their family groups: Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah son of Amaziah, Joel, Jehu son of Joshibiah (Joshibiah was the son of Seraiah, who was the son of Asiel), Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah, and Ziza. (Ziza was the son of Shiphi, who was the son of Allon. Allon was the son of Jedaiah, who was the son of Shimri. And Shimri was the son of Shemaiah.)
These families grew very large. 39 They went outside the city of Gedor to the east side of the valley to look for pasture for their flocks. 40 They found good pastures with plenty of grass, and the land was open country and peaceful and quiet. Ham’s descendants had lived there in the past.
41 These men who were listed came to Gedor while Hezekiah was king of Judah. They fought against the Hamites, destroying their tents, and also against the Meunites who lived there, and completely destroyed them. So there are no Meunites there even today. Then these men began to live there, because there was pasture for their flocks. 42 Ishi’s sons, Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, led five hundred of the Simeonites and attacked the people living in the mountains of Edom. 43 They killed the few Amalekites who were still alive. From that time until now these Simeonites have lived in Edom.
