1 Chronicles - ch 4 v 21 - 40
- The sons of Shelah, the son of Judah: Er, the father of Lecah, and Laadah, the father of Mareshah, and the families of those who made delicate linen, of the family of Ashbea;
- And Jokim, and the men of Cozeba, and Joash and Saraph, who were rulers in Moab, and went back to Beth-lehem. And the records are very old.
- These were the potters, and the people living among planted fields with walls round them; they were there to do the king's work.
- The sons of Simeon: Nemuel and Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, Shaul;
- Shallum his son, Mibsam his son, Mishma his son.
- And the sons of Mishma: Hammuel his son, Zaccur his son, Shimei his son.
- And Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brothers had only a small number of children, and their family was not as fertile as the children of Judah.
- And they were living at Beer-sheba and Moladah and Hazar-shual,
- And at Bilhah, and at Ezem, and at Tolad,
- And at Bethuel, and at Hormah, and at Ziklag,
- And at Beth-marcaboth, and at Hazarsusim, and at Beth-biri, and at Shaaraim. These were their towns till David became king.
- And their small towns were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, and Tochen and Ashan, five towns;
- And all the small places round these towns, as far as Baalath-beer, the high place of the South. These were their living-places, and they have lists of their generations.
- And Meshobab and Jamlech and Joshah, the son of Amaziah,
- And Joel and Jehu, the son of Joshibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of Asiel,
- And Elioenai and Jaakobah and Jeshohaiah and Asaiah and Adiel and Jesimiel and Benaiah,
- And Ziza, the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah, the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah;
- These, whose names are given, were chiefs in their families, and their families became very great in number.
- And they went to the opening into Gedor, as far as the east side of the valley, in search of grass-land for their flocks.
- And they came to some good fertile grass-land, in a wide quiet country of peace-loving people; for the people who were living there before were of the offspring of Ham.
