1 Chronicles 2:9-25
9The sons born to Hezron: Jerahmeel, Ram, and Caleb.
10Ram was the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab was the father of Nahshon, the tribal chief of Judah.
11Nahshon was the father of Salma, and Salma was the father of Boaz.
12Boaz was the father of Obed, and Obed was the father of Jesse.
13Jesse was the father of Eliab, his firstborn; Abinadab was born second, Shimea third,
14Nethanel fourth, Raddai fifth,
15Ozem sixth, David seventh.
16Their sisters were Zeruiah and Abigail. Zeruiah’s three sons were Abshai, Joab, and Asahel.
17Abigail bore Amasa, whose father was Jether the Ishmaelite.
18Caleb son of Hezron fathered sons by his wife Azubah (also known as Jerioth). Her sons were Jesher, Shobab, and Ardon.
19When Azubah died, Caleb married Ephrath, who bore him Hur.
20Hur was the father of Uri, and Uri was the father of Bezalel.
21Later Hezron had sexual relations with the daughter of Makir, the father of Gilead. (He had married her when he was sixty years old.) She bore him Segub.
22Segub was the father of Jair, who owned twenty-three cities in the land of Gilead.
23(Geshur and Aram captured the towns of Jair, along with Kenath and its sixty surrounding towns.) All these were descendants of Makir, the father of Gilead.
24After Hezron’s death, Caleb had sexual relations with Ephrath, his father Hezron’s widow, and she bore to him Ashhur the father of Tekoa.
25The sons of Jerahmeel, Hezron’s firstborn, were Ram, the firstborn, Bunah, Oren, Ozem, and Ahijah.
