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]

1 Chronicles 2:3-9
International Standard Version
3 Judah’s three sons Er, Onan, and Shelah were born to him through Bath-shua, a Canaanite. Er, Judah’s firstborn, became wicked in the Lord’s sight, so he put him to death. 4 Judah’s[a] daughter-in-law Tamar also bore him Perez and Zerah, so Judah had five sons in all.
5 Perez’s sons were Hezron and Hamul.
6 Zerah had five sons in all: Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Calcol, and Dara.[b]
7 Carmi’s son was Achar,[c] who became Israel’s troublemaker by transgressing the Lord’s commandment[d] regarding things that were to be destroyed.
8 Ethan’s son was Azariah.
9 Hezron’s sons born to him were Jerahmeel, Ram, and Chelubai.
