6 These are the sons of Ehud, who were the heads of the fathers’ houses to those dwelling in Geba, and who exiled them to Manahath.
7 So he exiled Naaman, Ahijah, and Gera and then became the father of Uzza and Ahihud.
8 Shaharaim had sons in the country of Moab after he had sent away his wives Hushim and Baara. 9 He had sons with his wife Hodesh, namely Jobab, Zibia, Mesha, Malkam, 10 Jeuz, Sakia, and Mirmah. These were his sons, heads of the fathers’ houses. 11 He also had sons by Hushim: Abitub and Elpaal.
12 The sons of Elpaal were

14 as well as Ahio, Shashak, Jeremoth, 15 Zebadiah, Arad, Eder, 16 Michael, Ishpah, and Joha, the sons of Beriah.
17 Zebadiah, Meshullam, Hizki, Heber, 18 Ishmerai, Izliah, and Jobab were the sons of Elpaal.
19 Jakim, Zikri, Zabdi, 20 Elienai, Zillethai, Eliel, 21 Adaiah, Beraiah, and Shimrath were the sons of Shimei.

26 Shamsherai, Shehariah, Athaliah, 27 Jaareshiah, Elijah, and Zikri were the sons of Jeroham.
28 These were heads of the fathers’ houses according to their generations, chief men who dwelt in Jerusalem.
29 The father of Gibeon dwelt in Gibeon,
