1 Chronicles 2:18-41

18And Caleb the son of Hezron had sons by his wife Azubah and by Jerioth. Azubah’s sons were: Jesher, Shobab, and Ardon.

19Azubah died, and Caleb married Ephrath, who bore him Hur.

20Hur became the father of Uri, and Uri became the father of Bezalel [the skillful craftsman who made the furnishings of the tabernacle].

21Later, when Hezron was sixty years old, he married the daughter of Machir the father of Gilead, and she bore him Segub.

22Segub became the father of Jair, who [later] had twenty-three cities in the land of Gilead.

23But Geshur and Aram took from them Havvoth-jair, with Kenath and its villages, sixty towns in all. All these were the sons (descendants) of Machir, the father of Gilead.

24After Hezron died in Caleb-ephrathah, Abijah, Hezron’s wife, bore him Ashhur the father of Tekoa.

25The sons of Jerahmeel the firstborn of Hezron: Ram the firstborn, Bunah, Oren, Ozem, and Ahijah.

26Jerahmeel had another wife, named Atarah; she was the mother of Onam.

27The sons of Ram the firstborn of Jerahmeel were: Maaz, Jamin, and Eker.

28The sons of Onam: Shammai and Jada. The sons of Shammai: Nadab and Abishur.

29The name of Abishur’s wife was Abihail; she bore him Ahban and Molid.

30The sons of Nadab: Seled and Appaim. Seled died childless.

31The son of Appaim: Ishi. The son of Ishi: Sheshan. The son of Sheshan: Ahlai.

32The sons of Jada the brother of Shammai: Jether and Jonathan. Jether died childless.

33The sons of Jonathan: Peleth and Zaza. These were the sons (descendants) of Jerahmeel.

34Sheshan had no sons—only daughters. But Sheshan had a servant, an Egyptian, whose name was Jarha.

35So Sheshan gave his daughter to Jarha his servant as a wife; she bore him Attai.

36Attai became the father of Nathan, and Nathan became the father of Zabad.

37Zabad became the father of Ephlal, and Ephlal became the father of Obed.

38Obed became the father of Jehu, and Jehu became the father of Azariah.

39Azariah became the father of Helez, and Helez became the father of Eleasah.

40Eleasah became the father of Sismai, and Sismai became the father of Shallum.

41Shallum became the father of Jekamiah, and Jekamiah became the father of Elishama.
