Context of 1 Chronicles 7:24

22Their father Ephraim cried for them and he was sad for many days. And his family came to help him. 23Then Ephraim had sex with his wife and they had another son. Ephraim called him Beriah. That name means ‘trouble’. Ephraim chose that name because of his family's troubles. Beriah's daughter was Sheerah. She built Lower and Higher Beth-Horon. And she built Uzzen-Sheerah. 25And Beriah's son was Rephah. And Rephah's son was Resheph. Resheph's son was Telah and Telah's son was Tahan. 26Tahan's son was Ladan. Ladan's son was Ammihud and Ammihud's son was Elishama.
