These were his sons, the leaders of their families. 11Truly, of Hushim he conceived Abitub and Elpaal. 12And the sons of Elpaal were Eber, and Misham, and Shemed, who built Ono and Lod and its daughters. 13Now Beriah and Shema were leaders of their families living in Aijalon; these put to flight the inhabitants of Gath. 14And Ahio, and Shashak, and Jeremoth, 15and Zebadiah, and Arad, and Eder, 16as well as Michael, and Ishpah, and Joha, were the sons of Beriah. 17Then Zebadiah, and Meshullam, and Hizki, and Heber, 18and Ishmerai, and Izliah, and Jobab were the sons of Elpaal. 19Then Jakim, and Zichri, and Zabdi, 20and Elienai, and Zillethai, and Eliel, 21and Adaiah, and Beraiah, and Shimrath were the sons of Shimei. 22Then Ishpan, and Eber, and Eliel, 23and Abdon, and Zichri, and Hanan, 24and Hananiah, and Elam, and Anthothijah, 25and Iphdeiah, and Penuel were the sons of Shashak. 26Then Shamsherai, and Shehariah and Athaliah, 27and Jaareshiah, and Elijah, and Zichri were the sons of Jeroham. 28These were the patriarchs and leaders of the families who were living in Jerusalem.

And Jehoaddah conceived Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri. And Zimri conceived Moza. 37And Moza conceived Binea, whose son was Raphah, of whom was born Eleasah, who conceived Azel. 38Now there were six sons for Azel, whose names were Azrikam, Bocheru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan. All these were the sons of Azel. 39Then the sons of Eshek, his brother, were Ulam the firstborn, and Jeush the second, and Eliphelet the third. 40And the sons of Ulam were very robust men, drawing the bow with great strength. And they had many sons and grandsons, even to one hundred fifty. All these were sons of Benjamin.
