1 Chronicles 4:27-39

27Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters; but his brothers did not have many sons, neither did all their family multiply like the sons of Judah.

28They lived at Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar-shual,

29Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,

30Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,

31Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susim, Beth-biri, and at Shaaraim. These were their cities until the reign of David.

32These were their villages: Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan—five cities—

33and all their villages that were around these towns as far as Baal. These were their settlements, and they have their genealogical record.

34Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah the son of Amaziah,

35Joel, Jehu the son of Joshibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of Asiel,

36also Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah,

37Ziza the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah, the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah;

38these mentioned by name were leaders in their families; and their fathers’ houses increased greatly [so they needed more land].

39So they journeyed to the entrance of Gedor, to the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.
