Judah’s Descendants(A)

Judah’s sons were Er, Onan, and Shelah. These three were born to him by Bathshua, a Canaanite woman. The Lord considered Er, Judah’s firstborn, evil, so the Lord killed Er. Tamar, Judah’s daughter-in-law, gave birth to Judah’s sons Perez and Zerah. Judah had five sons in all.

Perez’s sons were Hezron and Hamul. Zerah’s sons were Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Calcol, and Dara [a]—five in all. Carmi’s son was Achar, who caused trouble for Israel by taking goods that were claimed by God. Ethan’s son was Azariah.

The sons born to Hezron were Jerahmeel, Ram, and Chelubai.
