2 Dan, Joseph, Benjamin, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
3 The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, and Shelah. These three were born to him from the daughter of Shua, the Canaanite. But Er, the firstborn of Judah, was evil in the sight of the Lord, and so he killed him.
4 Now Tamar, his daughter-in-law, bore to him Perez and Zerah. Therefore, all the sons of Judah were five.

19 And when Azubah had died, Caleb took as wife Ephratha, who bore to him Hur.
20 Now Hur conceived Uri. And Uri conceived Bezalel.
21 And afterwards, Hezron entered to the daughter of Machir, father of Gilead. And he took her when he was sixty years old. And she bore to him Segub.
22 And then Segub conceived Jair, and he possessed twenty-three cities in the land of Gilead.
23 And he seized Geshur and Aram, towns of Jair, and Kenath and its villages, sixty cities. All these were sons of Machir, father of Gilead.
24 Then, when Hezron had died, Caleb entered to Ephratha. Also, Hezron had as wife Abia, who bore to him Ashhur, the father of Tekoa.
25 Now sons were born to Jerahmeel, the firstborn of Hezron: Ram, his firstborn, and Bunah, and Oren, and Ozem, and Ahijah.
26 Jerahmeel also married another wife, named Atarah, who was the mother of Onam.
27 Then too, the sons of Ram, the firstborn of Jerahmeel, were Maaz, Jamin, and Eker.
28 And Onam had sons: Shammai and Jada. And the sons of Shammai: Nadab and Abishur.
29 Truly, the name of the wife of Abishur was Abihail, who bore to him Ahban and Molid.

32 But the sons of Jada, the brother of Shammai, were Jether and Jonathan. Then Jether also died without children.
33 And Jonathan conceived Peleth and Zaza. These were the sons of Jerahmeel.
34 Now Sheshan did not have sons, but only daughters, and an Egyptian servant named Jarha.
35 And so he gave to him his daughter as wife, who bore to him Attai.
36 Then Attai conceived Nathan, and Nathan conceived Zabad.
37 Also, Zabad conceived Ephlal, and Ephlal conceived Obed.

53 And from the kindred of Kiriath-jearim: the Ithrites, and the Puthites, and the Shumathites, and the Mishraites. From these, the Zorathites and the Eshtaolites went forth.
54 The sons of Salma: Bethlehem, and the Netophathites, the crowns of the house of Joab, and half the places of rest of the Zorathites,
55 as well as the families of the scribes living in Jabesh, those singing and making music, and those dwelling in tents. These are the Kenites, who went forth from Calor, the father of the house of Rechab.
