1 Chronicles 7:20-40

20The sons of Ephraim: Shuthelah and Bered his son, Tahath [I] his son, Eleadah his son, Tahath [II] his son,

21Zabad his son, Shuthelah his son, and Ezer and Elead were killed by men who were natives of Gath, because they came down to take their livestock.

22Their father Ephraim mourned for many days, and his relatives came to comfort him.

23Then he went in to his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to a son, and he named him Beriah (on misfortune), because tragedy had come on his house.

24Beriah’s daughter was Sheerah, who built both Lower and Upper Beth-horon, and also Uzzen-sheerah.

25Rephah was his son along with Resheph; Resheph’s son was Telah, Tahan his son,

26Ladan his son, Ammihud his son, Elishama his son,

27Non (Nun) his son, and Joshua [Moses’ successor] his son.

28Their possessions and settlements were Bethel and its towns, and eastward Naaran, and westward Gezer, and Shechem, and as far as Ayyah with all their towns,

29and along the borders of the sons of Manasseh, Beth-shean, Taanach, Megiddo, Dor, with all their towns. In these [places] lived the sons of Joseph the son of Israel (Jacob).

30The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, and Beriah; and Serah their sister.

31The sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel, who was the father of Birzaith.

32Heber became the father of Japhlet, Shomer, Hotham, and Shua their sister.

33The sons of Japhlet: Pasach, Bimhal, and Ashvath. These were the sons of Japhlet.

34The sons of Shemer (Shomer) [his brother]: Ahi and Rohgah, Jehubbah, and Aram.

35The sons of his brother Helem (Hotham): Zophah, Imna, Shelesh, and Amal.

36The sons of Zophah: Suah, Harnepher, Shual, Beri, Imrah,

37Bezer, Hod, Shamma, Shilshah, Ithran, and Beera.

38The sons of Jether: Jephunneh, Pispa, and Ara.

39The sons of Ulla: Arah, Hanniel, and Rizia.

40All these were sons (descendants) of Asher, heads of their fathers’ houses, choice men, courageous men, chiefs of the leaders. Their number, enrolled by genealogies for service in war, was 26,000 men.
