1 Chronicles 4:24-43 ▼

24 The sons of Semeon; Namuel, and Jamin, Jarib, Zares, Saul:

25 Salem his son, Mabasam his son, Masma his son:

26 Amuel his son, Sabud his son, Zacchur his son, Semei his son.

27 Semei had sixteen sons, and six daughters; and his brethren had not many sons, neither did all their families multiply as the sons of Juda.

28 And they dwelt in Bersabee, and Molada, and in Esersual,

29 and in Balaa, and in Aesem, and in Tholad,

30 and in Bathuel, and in Herma, and in Sikelag,

31 and in Baethmarimoth, and Hemisuseosin, and the house of Baruseorim: these were their cities until the time of king David.

32 And their villages were Aetan, and En, Remnon, and Thocca, and Aesar, five cities.

33 And all their villages were round about these cities, as far as Baal: this was their possession, and their distribution.

34 And Mosobab, and Jemoloch, and Josia the son of Amasia;

35 and Joel, and Jeu the son of Asabia, the son of Sarau, the son of Asiel;

36 and Elionai, and Jocaba, and Jasuia, and Asaia, and Jediel, and Ismael, and Banaias;

37 and Zuza the son of Saphai, the son of Alon, the son of Jedia, the son of Semri, the son of Samaias.

38 These went by the names of princes in their families, and they increased abundantly in their fathers' households.

39 And they went till they came to Gerara, to the east of Gai, to seek pasture for their cattle.

40 And they found abundant and good pastures, and the land before them was wide, and there was peace and quietness; for there were some of the children of Cham who dwelt there before.

41 And these who are written by name came in the days of Ezekias king of Juda, and they smote the people's houses, and the Minaeans whom they found there, and utterly destroyed them until this day: and they dwelt in their place, because there was pasture there for their cattle.

42 And some of them, even of the sons of Symeon, went to mount Seir, even five hundred men; and Phalaettia, and Noadia, and Raphaia, and Oziel, sons of Jesi, were their rulers.

43 And they smote the remnant that were left of Amalec, until this day.
