1 Chronicles 7:20-40
201The sons of Ephraim were Shuthelah and 2Bered his son, Tahath his son, Eleadah his son, Tahath his son, 21Zabad his son, Shuthelah his son, and Ezer and Elead whom the men of Gath who were born in the land killed, because they came down to take their livestock. 22Their father Ephraim 3mourned many days, and his relatives 4came to comfort him. 23Then he went in to his wife, and she conceived and bore a son, and he named him 5Beriah, because misfortune had come upon his house. 24His daughter was Sheerah, 6who built lower and upper Beth-horon, also Uzzen-sheerah. 25Rephah was his son along with Resheph, Telah his son, Tahan his son, 26Ladan his son, Ammihud his son, Elishama his son, 277Non his son and 8Joshua his son.
289Their possessions and settlements were Bethel with its towns, and to the east 10Naaran, and to the west Gezer with its towns, and Shechem with its towns as far as 11Ayyah with its towns, 29and along the borders of the sons of Manasseh, Beth-shean with its towns, Taanach with its towns, Megiddo with its towns, Dor with its towns. In these lived the 12sons of Joseph the son of Israel.
3013The sons of Asher were Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi and Beriah, and Serah their sister. 31The sons of Beriah were Heber and Malchiel, who was the father of Birzaith. 32Heber 14became the father of Japhlet, 15Shomer and Hotham, and Shua their sister. 33The sons of Japhlet were Pasach, Bimhal and Ashvath. These were the sons of Japhlet. 34The sons of 16Shemer were Ahi and Rohgah, Jehubbah and Aram. 35The 17sons of his brother Helem were Zophah, Imna, Shelesh and Amal. 36The sons of Zophah were Suah, Harnepher, Shual, Beri and Imrah, 37Bezer, Hod, Shamma, Shilshah, Ithran and Beera. 38The sons of Jether were Jephunneh, Pispa and Ara. 39The sons of Ulla were Arah, Hanniel and Rizia. 40All these were the sons of Asher, heads of the fathers’ houses, choice and mighty men of valor, heads of the princes. And the number of them enrolled by genealogy for service in war was 26,000 men.
