Genesis 4:18-24
18To Enoch was born Irad. Irad was the father of Mehujael. Mehujael was the father of Methushael. And Methushael was the father of Lamech.
19Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah.
20Adah gave birth to Jabal. He was the first person to live in tents and have livestock.
21His brother’s name was Jubal. He was the first person to play the harp and the flute.
22Zillah also had a son, Tubalcain, who made bronze and iron tools. Tubalcain’s sister was Naamah.
23Lamech said to his wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen to me! Wives of Lamech, hear what I say! I killed a man for bruising me, a young man for wounding me.
24If Cain is avenged 7 times, then Lamech, 77 times.”
