1 Chronicles 4:27-41

English Standard Version

²⁷ Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters; but his brothers did not have many children, ^(A)nor did all their clan multiply ^(B)like the men of Judah. ^28 (C)They lived in Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar-shual, ^29 (D)Bilhah, Ezem, ^(E)Tolad, ^30 (F)Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag, ³¹ Beth-marcaboth, ^(G)Hazar-susim, ^(H)Beth-biri, and ^(I)Shaaraim. These were their cities until David reigned. ³² And their villages were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan, five cities, ³³ along with all their villages that were around these cities as far as ^(J)Baal. These were their settlements, and they kept a genealogical record.

³⁴ Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah the son of Amaziah, ³⁵ Joel, Jehu the son of Joshibiah, son of Seraiah, son of Asiel, ³⁶ Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah, ³⁷ Ziza the son of Shiphi, son of Allon, son of Jedaiah, son of Shimri, son of Shemaiah— ³⁸ these mentioned by name were princes in their clans, ^(K)and their fathers' houses increased greatly. ³⁹ They journeyed to the entrance of ^(L)Gedor, to the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks, ⁴⁰ where they found rich, good pasture, and the land was very broad, ^(M)quiet, and peaceful, for the former inhabitants there belonged to Ham. ^41 (N)These, registered by name, came in the days of Hezekiah, king of Judah, and destroyed their tents and the Meunites who were found there, and marked them for destruction to this day, ^(O)and settled in their place, because there was pasture there for their flocks.
