1 Chronicles 4:14-23

14Meonothai became the father of Ophrah. Seraiah became the father of Joab. Joab was the ancestor of the people who live in Ge-Harashim. Those people had special skills to make things.

15The sons of Jephunneh's son Caleb were: Iru, Elah and Naam. Elah's son was Kenaz.

16Jehallelel's sons were: Ziph, Ziphah, Tiria and Asarel.

17Ezrah's sons were: Jether, Mered, Epher and Jalon. Mered married Bithiah. Her father was the king of Egypt. The children of Mered and Bithiah were: Miriam, Shammai and Ishbah. Ishbah became the father of Eshtemoa. Mered had another wife who belonged to Judah's tribe. Her sons were Jered, Heber and Jekuthiel. Jered became the father of Gedor. Heber became the father of Soco. And Jekuthiel became the father of Zanoah.

19Hodiah's wife was Naham's sister. She gave birth to two sons. One of them became the father of Keilah, the ancestor of the Garmites. The other son became the father of Eshtemoa, the ancestor of the Maakathites.

20Shimon's sons were: Amnon, Rinnah, Ben-Hanan and Tilon. Ishi's descendants were Zoheth and Ben-Zoheth.

21These were the sons of Judah's son, Shelah: Er, Laadah, Jokim, Joash, Saraph and Jashubi-Lehem. Er became the father of Lecah. Laadah became the father of Mareshah. Joash and Saraph both married women from Moab and they returned to live in Lehem. Other clans that were descendants of Shelah worked with linen at Beth-Ashbea, and some lived in Cozeba. (These lists are from old history books.)

23Those people made pots. They lived in Netaim and Gederah. They lived there and they worked for the king.
