猶大的兒子是法勒斯、希斯崙、迦米、戶珥、朔巴。 朔巴的兒子利亞雅生雅哈,雅哈生亞戶買和拉哈。他們都屬於瑣拉人的宗族。 以坦的兒子[a]是耶斯列、伊施瑪和伊得巴,女兒名叫哈悉勒玻尼。 基多的父親是毗努伊勒,戶沙的父親是以謝珥。這些人都是伯利恆的父親、以法她的長子戶珥的後代。 提哥亞的父親亞施戶有兩個妻子,一個名叫希拉,一個名叫拿拉。 拿拉給他生了亞戶撒、希弗、提米尼和哈轄斯他利。這些都是拿拉的兒子。 希拉的兒子是洗列、瑣轄和伊提南。 哥斯生亞諾和瑣比巴,他也是哈倫的兒子亞哈黑宗族的祖先。 雅比斯比他的眾弟兄尊貴,他母親給他取名叫雅比斯,意思是:「我生他時非常痛苦」。 10 雅比斯向以色列的上帝禱告說:「願你賜福給我,擴大我的疆土,與我同在,使我遠離患難和痛苦。」上帝答應了他的祈求。

11 書哈的弟兄基綠生米黑,米黑是伊施屯的父親。 12 伊施屯生伯拉巴、巴西亞和提欣拿,提欣拿是珥拿轄的父親。這些都是利迦人。 13 基納斯的兒子是俄陀聶和西萊雅。俄陀聶的兒子是哈塔、憫挪太。 14 憫挪太生俄弗拉。西萊雅生革·夏納欣人的祖先約押。他們都是工匠。 15 耶孚尼的兒子是迦勒,迦勒的兒子是以路、以拉和拿安,以拉的兒子是基納斯。 16 耶哈利勒的兒子是西弗、西法、提利和亞撒列。 17 以斯拉的兒子是益帖、米列、以弗和雅倫。米列娶了法老的女兒比提雅為妻,她給米列生了米利暗、沙邁和以實提摩的父親益巴。 18 米列還娶了一個猶大人為妻,她生了基多的父親雅列、梭哥的父親希伯和撒挪亞的父親耶古鐵。 19 荷第雅的妻子是拿含的妹妹,她的兒子們是迦米人基伊拉和瑪迦人以實提摩的父親。 20 示門的兒子是暗嫩、林拿、便·哈南和提倫。以示的兒子是梭黑和便·梭黑。

21 猶大有個兒子名叫示拉。示拉的後代是利迦的父親珥、瑪利沙的父親拉大、在亞實比織細麻布的各家族、 22 約敬、哥西巴人、約阿施以及統治摩押和雅叔比利恆的薩拉。這都是古代的記錄。 23 他們都是住在尼他英和基低拉的陶匠,他們在那裡為王效力。

西緬的後裔

24 西緬的兒子是尼姆利、雅憫、雅立、謝拉和掃羅。 25 掃羅的兒子是沙龍,沙龍的兒子是米比衫,米比衫的兒子是米施瑪, 26 米施瑪的兒子是哈姆利,哈姆利的兒子是撒刻,撒刻的兒子是示每。 27 示每有十六個兒子和六個女兒,他弟兄的兒女不多。他們整個宗族的人不如猶大宗族的人多。 28 西緬人住在別示巴、摩拉大、哈薩·書亞、 29 辟拉、以森、陀臘、 30 彼土利、何珥瑪、洗革拉、 31 伯·瑪嘉博、哈薩·蘇撒、伯·比利、沙拉音。在大衛做王以前,這些都是西緬人的城邑。 32 他們還有五座城邑:以坦、亞因、臨門、陀健、亞珊, 33 以及這些城附近的村莊,遠至巴力。這些都是他們的住處。他們有自己的家譜。

The sons of Helah:

Zereth, Zohar, Ethnan, and Koz, who was the father of Anub and Hazzobebah and of the clans of Aharhel son of Harum.

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.

Seraiah was the father of Joab,

the father of Ge Harashim.[f] It was called this because its people were skilled workers.

15 The sons of Caleb son of Jephunneh:

Kenaz.

16 The sons of Jehallelel:

Ziph, Ziphah, Tiria and Asarel.

One of Mered’s wives gave birth to Miriam,(G) Shammai and Ishbah the father of Eshtemoa. 18 (His wife from the tribe of Judah gave birth to Jered the father of Gedor, Heber the father of Soko, and Jekuthiel the father of Zanoah.(H)) These were the children of Pharaoh’s daughter Bithiah, whom Mered had married.

(These records are from ancient times.) 23 They were the potters who lived at Netaim and Gederah; they stayed there and worked for the king.

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.
