1 Chronicles 2:3-9
International Standard Version
3 Judah’s three sons Er, Onan, and Shelah were born to him through Bath-shua, a Canaanite. Er, Judah’s firstborn, became wicked in the Lord’s sight, so he put him to death. 4 Judah’s[a] daughter-in-law Tamar also bore him Perez and Zerah, so Judah had five sons in all.
5 Perez’s sons were Hezron and Hamul.
6 Zerah had five sons in all: Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Calcol, and Dara.[b]
7 Carmi’s son was Achar,[c] who became Israel’s troublemaker by transgressing the Lord’s commandment[d] regarding things that were to be destroyed.
8 Ethan’s son was Azariah.
9 Hezron’s sons born to him were Jerahmeel, Ram, and Chelubai.
