1 Chronicles 7:20-27

20The descendants of Ephraim were Shuthelah, Bered, Tahath, Eleadah, Tahath,

21Zabad, Shuthelah, Ezer, and Elead. These two were killed trying to steal livestock from the local farmers near Gath.

22Their father, Ephraim, mourned for them a long time, and his relatives came to comfort him.

23Afterward Ephraim slept with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. Ephraim named him Beriah because of the tragedy his family had suffered.

24He had a daughter named Sheerah. She built the towns of Lower and Upper Beth-horon and Uzzen-sheerah.

25The descendants of Ephraim included Rephah, Resheph, Telah, Tahan,

26Ladan, Ammihud, Elishama,

27Nun, and Joshua.
