1 Chronicles 2:3-5

The Voice

³ The sons of Judah (Er, Onan, and Shelah) were born to his wife Bath-shua of Canaan. Er (Judah’s firstborn) was wicked in the eyes of the Eternal One, so He put him to death. Er’s widow (and Judah’s own daughter-in-law), ⁴ Tamar, gave birth to Judah’s youngest children, Perez and Zerah, giving Judah a total of five sons. ⁵ Perez fathered Hezron and Hamul.
