1Now the sons of Benjamin were: Bela, his first-born; Ashbel, second; Aharah, third; 2Nohah, fourth; and Rapha, fifth. 3And the sons of Bela were: Addar, Gera, Abihud, 4Abishua, Naaman, Ahoah, 5Gera, Shephuphan, and Huram. 6And these are the sons of Ehud; (possibly Abihud) these are the heads of the fathers of the inhabitants of Geba, and they were carried away captive to Manahath. 7And Naaman, Ahijah, and Gera, he carried them captive, and fathered Uzza, and Ahihud. 8And Shaharaim fathered children in the country of Moab, after he had sent them away; Hushim and Baara were his wives. 9And he fathered by Hodesh, his wife, Jobab, Zibia, Mesha, Malcam, 10Jeuz, Shachia, and Mirmah. These were his sons, heads of the fathers' houses. 11And of Hushim he fathered Abitub, and Elpaal. 12The sons of Elpaal were: Eber, Misham, and Shamed, who built Ono, and Lod, with its towns. 13Beriah also, and Shema, who were heads of the families of the inhabitants of Aijalon, who drove away the inhabitants of Gath; 14And Ahio, Shashak, and Jeremoth, 15And Zebadiah, and Arad, and Eder, 16And Michael, and Ishpah, and Joha, the sons of Beriah; 17And Zebadiah, and Meshullam, and Hizki, and Heber; 18Ishmerai also, and Izliah, and Jobab, the sons of Elpaal; 19And Jakim, and Zichri, and Zabdi, 20And Elienai, and Zillethai, and Eliel, 21And Adaiah, and Beraiah, and Shimrath, the sons of Shimei, 22And Ishpan, and Heber, and Eliel, 23And Abdon, and Zichri, and Hanan, 24And Hananiah, and Elam, and Antothijah, 25And Iphedeiah, and Penuel, the sons of Shashak; 26And Shamsherai, and Shehariah, and Athaliah, 27And Jaareshiah, and Elijah, and Zichri, the sons of Jeroham. 28These were heads of the fathers' houses, by their generations, chief men. These dwelt in Jerusalem. 29And Jeiel, the father of Gibeon, lived at Gibeon; and his wife's name was Maachah; 30And his first-born son, Abdon, then Zur, Kish, Baal, Nadab, 31Gedor, Ahio, and Zecher. 32And Mikloth fathered Shimeah. These also dwelt with their brothers in Jerusalem, opposite them. 33And Ner fathered Kish; and Kish fathered Saul; and Saul fathered Jonathan, Malchi-shua, Abinadab, and Esh-baal. 34And the son of Jonathan was Merib-baal; and Merib-baal fathered Micah. 35And the sons of Micah were, Pithon, Melech, Tarea, and Ahaz. 36And Ahaz fathered Jehoaddah; and Jehoaddah fathered Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri fathered Moza, 37And Moza fathered Binea; Rapha was his son; Eleasah, his son, Azel, his son. 38And Azel had six sons, namely: Azrikam, Bocheru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan. All these were the sons of Azel. 39And the sons of Eshek, his (Azel’s?) brother, were Ulam, his first-born, Jeush, the second, and Eliphelet, the third. 40And the sons of Ulam were mighty men of valor, archers, and had many sons, and sons' sons, a hundred fifty. All these are of the sons of Benjamin. Reader-Friendly Bible: Purple Letter Edition © 2024 by Jim Musser. Used by Permission. All rights Reserved. Bible Hub |
