1 Chronicles 2:1-10 ▼

1 Here's a list of Israel's sons: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun,

2 Dan, Joseph, Benjamin, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.

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 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.

7 Carmi's son was Achar, who became Israel's troublemaker by transgressing the LORD's commandment 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.

10 Ram fathered Amminadab, and Amminadab fathered Nahshon, who was leader of the descendants of Judah.
