Genesis 4:19-25

19And Lemech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the second, Zillah.

20And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of those who dwell in tents, and [breed] cattle.

21And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of those who handle the harp and pipe.

22And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, the forger of every kind of tool of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.

23And Lemech said to his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice, Ye wives of Lemech, listen to my speech. For I have slain a man for my wound, and a youth for my bruise.

24If Cain shall be avenged seven-fold; Lemech seventy and seven fold.

25And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son, and called his name Seth: ...For 1God has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, because Cain has slain him.
