1 Chronicles 2:1-11 ▼

1 The sons of Israel were Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun,

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

3 Judah had three sons from Bathshua, a Canaanite woman. Their names were Er, Onan, and Shelah. But the LORD saw that the oldest son, Er, was a wicked man, so he killed him.

4 Later Judah had twin sons from Tamar, his widowed daughter-in-law. Their names were Perez and Zerah. So Judah had five sons in all.

5 The sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.

6 The sons of Zerah were Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Calcol, and Darda—five in all.

7 The son of Carmi (a descendant of Zimri) was Achan, who brought disaster on Israel by taking plunder that had been set apart for the LORD.

8 The son of Ethan was Azariah.

9 The sons of Hezron were Jerahmeel, Ram, and Caleb.

10 Ram was the father of Amminadab. Amminadab was the father of Nahshon, a leader of Judah.

11 Nahshon was the father of Salmon. Salmon was the father of Boaz.
