1 Chronicles 4:1-14 ▼

1 Sons of Judah: Perez, Hezron, and Carmi, and Hur, and Shobal.

2 And Reaiah son of Shobal begot Jahath, and Jahath begot Ahumai and Lahad; these [are] families of the Zorathite.

3 And these [are] of the father of Etam: Jezreel, and Ishma, and Idbash; and the name of their sister [is] Hazzelelponi;

4 and Penuel [is] father of Gedor, and Ezer father of Hushah. These [are] sons of Hur, firstborn of Ephratah, father of Beth-Lehem.

5 And to Ashhur father of Tekoa were two wives, Helah and Naarah;

6 and Naarah bears to him Ahuzzam, and Hepher, and Temeni, and Haahashtari: these [are] sons of Naarah.

7 And sons of Helah: Zereth, and Zohar, and Ethnan.

8 And Coz begot Anub, and Zobebah, and the families of Aharhel son of Harum.

9 And Jabez is honored above his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I have brought forth with grief.”

10 And Jabez calls to the God of Israel, saying, “If blessing You bless me, then You have made my border great, and Your hand has been with me, and You have kept [me] from evil—not to grieve me”; and God brings in that which he asked.

11 And Chelub brother of Shuah begot Mehir; he [is] father of Eshton.

12 And Eshton begot Beth-Rapha, and Paseah, and Tehinnah father of Ir-Nahash; these [are] men of Rechah.

13 And sons of Kenaz: Othniel and Seraiah; and sons of Othniel: Hathath.

14 And Meonothai begot Ophrah, and Seraiah begot Joab father of the Valley of the Craftsmen, for they were craftsmen.
