1 Chronicles 2:3-9

International Children’s Bible

Judah’s Family

³ Judah’s sons were Er, Onan and Shelah. A Canaanite woman, the daughter of Shua, was their mother. Judah’s first son, Er, did what the Lord said was wicked. So the Lord put him to death. ⁴ Judah’s daughter-in-law Tamar gave birth to Perez and Zerah. Judah was the father. So Judah had five sons.

⁵ Perez’s sons were Hezron and Hamul.

⁶ Zerah had five sons. They were Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Calcol and Darda.

⁷ Carmi’s son was Achan. He caused trouble for Israel because he took things that had been given to the Lord to be destroyed.

⁸ Ethan’s son was Azariah.

⁹ Hezron’s sons were Jerahmeel, Ram and Caleb.
