8And these are their names: Ben-hur, in the hill country of Ephraim:

9Ben-deker, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Beth-shemesh, and Elon-beth-hanan:

10Ben-hesed, in Arubboth; to him pertained Socoh, and all the land of Hepher:

11Ben-abinadab, in all the height of Dor; he had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife:

12Baana the son of Ahilud, in Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean which is beside Zarethan, beneath Jezreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah, as far as beyond Jokmeam:

13Ben-geber, in Ramoth-gilead; to him pertained the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead; even to him pertained the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, threescore great cities with walls and brasen bars:
