⁶ Benjamin had three sons: Bela, Becher, and Jediael. ⁷ Bela’s five sons were Ezbon, Uzzi, Uzziel, Jerimoth, and Iri. They were heads of families and fighting men. In the genealogy 22,034 of them were recorded. ⁸ Becher’s sons were Zemirah, Joash, Eliezer, Elioenai, Omri, Jeremoth, Abijah, Anathoth, and Alemeth. These were all of Becher’s sons. ⁹ In the genealogy 22,200 of them were recorded according to their ancestry (the heads of their families and fighting men). ¹⁰ Jediael’s son was Bilhan. Bilhan’s sons were Jeush, Benjamin, Ehud, Chenaanah, Zethan, Tarshish, and Ahishahar. ¹¹ All of these men were Jediael’s descendants. They headed families that produced 17,200 fighting men who could go to war. ¹² The Shuppites and Huppites were Ir’s descendants. The Hushites were descendants of someone else.
