1 Chronicles 7:20-29
20The descendants of Ephraim:
21Shuthelah, Bered his son, Tahath his son, Eleadah his son, Tahath his son, Zabad his son, and Shuthelah his son. Ezer and Elead were killed by the natives of Gath, because they went down to steal their livestock. 22Their father Ephraim mourned for many days, and his relatives came to comfort him. 23And again he slept with his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. So he named him Beriah,1 because tragedy had come upon his house. 24His daughter was Sheerah, who built Lower and Upper Beth-horon, as well as Uzzen-sheerah. 25Additionally, Rephah was his son, Resheph his son,2 Telah his son, Tahan his son, 26Ladan his son, Ammihud his son, Elishama his son, 27Nun3 his son, and Joshua his son. 28Their holdings and settlements included Bethel and its villages, Naaran to the east, Gezer and its villages to the west, and Shechem and its villages as far as Ayyah4 and its villages. 29And along the borders of Manasseh were Beth-shean,5 Taanach, Megiddo, and Dor, together with their villages. The descendants of Joseph son of Israel lived in these towns.
