Shuthelah, Bered his son,
Tahath his son, Eleadah his son,
Tahath his son, 21 Zabad his son,
Shuthelah his son, and Ezer and Elead, whom the men of Gath born in that land killed because they came down to take their livestock. 22 Ephraim their father mourned many days, and his brothers came to comfort him. 23 Then he went in to his wife, and she conceived and bore a son, so he called his name Beriah, because evil had been in his house 24 (his daughter was Sheerah, who built both Lower and Upper Beth Horon as well as Uzzen Sheerah).
25 Rephah was also his son, as were Resheph,
Telah his son, Tahan his son,
