1 Chronicles 2:18-41
18Caleb son of Hezron had children by his wife Azubah (and by Jerioth). These were her sons: Jesher, Shobab and Ardon.
19When Azubah died, Caleb married Ephrath, who bore him Hur.
20Hur was the father of Uri, and Uri the father of Bezalel.
21Later, Hezron, when he was sixty years old, married the daughter of Makir the father of Gilead. He made love to her, and she bore him Segub.
22Segub was the father of Jair, who controlled twenty-three towns in Gilead.
23(But Geshur and Aram captured Havvoth Jair, as well as Kenath with its surrounding settlements—sixty towns.) All these were descendants of Makir the father of Gilead.
24After Hezron died in Caleb Ephrathah, Abijah the wife of Hezron bore him Ashhur the father of Tekoa.
25The sons of Jerahmeel the firstborn of Hezron: Ram his firstborn, Bunah, Oren, Ozem and Ahijah.
26Jerahmeel had another wife, whose name was Atarah; she was the mother of Onam.
27The sons of Ram the firstborn of Jerahmeel: Maaz, Jamin and Eker.
28The sons of Onam: Shammai and Jada. The sons of Shammai: Nadab and Abishur.
29Abishur’s wife was named Abihail, who bore him Ahban and Molid.
30The sons of Nadab: Seled and Appaim. Seled died without children.
31The son of Appaim: Ishi, who was the father of Sheshan. Sheshan was the father of Ahlai.
32The sons of Jada, Shammai’s brother: Jether and Jonathan. Jether died without children.
33The sons of Jonathan: Peleth and Zaza. These were the descendants of Jerahmeel.
34Sheshan had no sons—only daughters. He had an Egyptian servant named Jarha.
35Sheshan gave his daughter in marriage to his servant Jarha, and she bore him Attai.
36Attai was the father of Nathan, Nathan the father of Zabad,
37Zabad the father of Ephlal, Ephlal the father of Obed,
38Obed the father of Jehu, Jehu the father of Azariah,
39Azariah the father of Helez, Helez the father of Eleasah,
