1 Chronicles 2:3-9
New Living Translation

Descendants of Judah

3 Judah had three sons from Bathshua, a Canaanite woman. Their names were Er, Onan, and Shelah. But the Lord saw that the oldest son, Er, was a wicked man, so he killed him. 4 Later Judah had twin sons from Tamar, his widowed daughter-in-law. Their names were Perez and Zerah. So Judah had five sons in all.

5 The sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.

6 The sons of Zerah were Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Calcol, and Darda[a]—five in all.

7 The son of Carmi (a descendant of Zimri) was Achan,[b] who brought disaster on Israel by taking plunder that had been set apart for the Lord.[c]

8 The son of Ethan was Azariah.

From Judah’s Grandson Hezron to David

9 The sons of Hezron were Jerahmeel, Ram, and Caleb.[d]
