1 Chronicles 7:20-30

20 The descendants of Efrayim were: Shutelach, his son Bered, his son Tachat, his son El'adah, his son Tachat,
21 his son Zavad and his son Shutelach; also 'Ezer and El'ad, whom the men of Gat born in the land killed when they came down to raid their cattle.
22 Efrayim their father mourned for a long time, and his kinsmen came to comfort him.
23 Then he had sexual relations with his wife, and she conceived and bore a son whom he called B'ri'ah [in calamity], because his household had suffered a calamity.
24 His daughter was She'erah, who built upper and lower Beit-Horon and Uzen-She'erah.
25 Refach was his son, and Reshef, then his son Telach, his son Tachan
26 his son La'dan, his son 'Ammihud, his son Elishama,
27 his son Nun and his son Y'hoshua.
28 Their possessions and settlements were Beit-El with its towns; Na'aran to the east; and to the west, Gezer with its towns; also Sh'khem with its towns, as far as 'Ayah and its towns;
29 and, near the territory of the descendants of M'nasheh, Beit-Sh'an with its towns, Ta'nakh with its towns, Megiddo with its towns and Dor with its towns. In these places lived the descendants of Yosef the son of Isra'el.
30 The children of Asher were: Yimnah, Yishvah, Yishvi, B'ri'ah and their sister Serach.
