1 Chronicles 8:8-28

8After Shaharaim divorced his wives Hushim and Baara, he had children in the land of Moab.

9His wife Hodesh gave birth to Jobab, Zibia, Mesha, Malcam,

10Jeuz, Sakia, and Mirmah. These sons all became the leaders of clans.

12The sons of Elpaal were Eber, Misham, Shemed (who built the towns of Ono and Lod and their nearby villages),

13Beriah, and Shema. They were the leaders of the clans living in Aijalon, and they drove out the inhabitants of Gath.

15Zebadiah, Arad, Eder,

16Michael, Ishpah, and Joha were the sons of Beriah.
