Common English Bible CEB

1 Judah's family: Perez, Hezron, Caleb, Hur, and Shobal.

2 Shobal's son Reaiah was Jahath's father, and Jahath was the father of Ahumai and Lahad. These were the Zorathite clans.

3 This was Etam's family: Jezreel, Ishma, and Idbash. Their sister's name was Hazzelelponi.

4 Penuel was Gedor's father, and Ezer was Hushah's father. This was the family of Hur the oldest son of Ephrathah, Bethlehem's father:

5 Ashhur, Tekoa's father, had two wives, Helah and Naarah.

6 Naarah gave birth to Ahuzzam, Hepher, Temeni, and Haahashtari for him. This was Naarah's family.

7 Helah's family: Zereth, Zohar, and Ethnan.

8 Koz was the father of Anub, Hazzobebah, and the clans of Aharhel, Harum's son.

9 Jabez was more honored than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, "I bore him in pain."

10 Jabez called on Israel's God: "If only you would greatly bless me and increase my territory. May your power go with me to keep me from trouble, so as not to cause me pain." And God granted his request.

11 Chelub, Shuhah's brother, was the father of Mehir, who was Eshton's father.

12 Eshton was the father of Beth-rapha, Paseah, and Tehinnah, Ir-nahash's father. These are the men of Recah.

13 Kenaz's family: Othniel and Seraiah. Othniel's family: Hathath and Meonothai.

14 Meonothai was the father of Ophrah. Seraiah was the father of Joab the father of Ge-harashim, so-called because they were skilled workers.

15 The family of Caleb, Jephunneh's son: Iru, Elah, and Naam. This was Kenaz's family.

16 Jehallelel's family: Ziph, Ziphah, Tiria, and Asarel.

17 Ezrah's family: Jether, Mered, Epher, and Jalon. Jether was the father of Miriam, Shammai, and Ishbah, Eshtemoa's father.

18 His Judean wife gave birth to Jered, Gedor's father; Heber, Soco's father; and Jekuthiel, Zanoah's father. This is the family of Bithiah, Pharaoh's daughter, whom Mered married.

19 The family of his Judean wife, the sister of Naham, Keilah's father the Garmite and Eshtemoa the Maacathite.

20 Shimon's family: Amnon, Rinnah, Ben-hanan, and Tilon. Ishi's family: Zoheth and Ben-zoheth.

21 The family of Shelah, Judah's son: Er, Lecah's father; Laadah, Mareshah's father; the clans of the linen workers at Beth-ashbea;

22 Jokim; the men of Cozeba; Joash; and Saraph, who married into Moab but returned to Bethlehem (the records are ancient).

23 They were the potters who lived in Netaim and Gederah; they lived there with the king in his service.

24 Simeon's family: Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, Shaul,

25 his son Shallum, his son Mibsam, and his son Mishma.

26 Mishma's family: his son Hammuel, his son Zaccur, and his son Shimei.

27 Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters; but his brothers didn't have many children, and none of their clans became as numerous as the Judeans.

28 They lived in Beer-sheba, Moladah, Hazar-shual,

29 Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,

30 Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,

31 Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susim, Beth-biri, and Shaaraim. These were their towns until David became king.

32 Their villages were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan—five towns—

33 as well as all their villages around these towns as far as Baal. These were their settlements, and they kept their own family records:

34 Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah son of Amaziah,

35 Joel, Jehu son of Joshibiah son of Seraiah son of Asiel,

36 Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah,

37 and Ziza son of Shiphi son of Allon son of Jedaiah son of Shimri son of Shemaiah.

38 These mentioned by name were leaders in their clans, and their households increased greatly.

39 They went to the entrance of Gedor, as far as the east side of the valley, to find pasture for their flocks.

40 They found fertile pasture, and the land was spacious, quiet, and peaceful; the people of Ham used to live there.

41 These whose names were recorded, however, came in the days of Judah's King Hezekiah, attacked their tents and the Meunim found there, and completely destroyed them, as can be seen today. They settled in their place, because there was pasture there for their flocks.

42 Some of them, five hundred Simeonites, went to Mount Seir, led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, Ishi's sons.

43 They struck down those who were left of the Amalekites and have lived there ever since.

2 Reaiah, Shobal's son, had Jahath; and Jahath had Ahumai and Lahad. These made up the families of the Zorathites.

3 Sons of Etam: Jezreel, Ishma, and Idbash. Their sister was named Hazzelelponi.

8 and Koz, who had Anub, Hazzobebah, and the families of Aharhel son of Harum.

9 Jabez was a better man than his brothers, a man of honor. His mother had named him Jabez (Oh, the pain!), saying, "A painful birth! I bore him in great pain!"

10 Jabez prayed to the God of Israel: "Bless me, O bless me! Give me land, large tracts of land. And provide your personal protection - don't let evil hurt me." God gave him what he asked.

11 Kelub, Shuhah's brother, had Mehir; Mehir had Eshton;

12 Eshton had Beth Rapha, Paseah, and Tehinnah, who founded Ir Nahash (City of Smiths). These were known as the men of Recah.

13 The sons of Kenaz: Othniel and Seraiah. The sons of Othniel: Hathath and Meonothai.

14 Meonothai had Ophrah; Seraiah had Joab, the founder of Ge Harashim (Colony of Artisans).

16 The sons of Jehallelel: Ziph, Ziphah, Tiria, and Asarel.

17 The sons of Ezrah: Jether, Mered, Epher, and Jalon. One of Mered's wives, Pharaoh's daughter Bithiah, gave birth to Miriam, Shammai, and Ishbah the father of Eshtemoa.

18 His Judean wife gave birth to Jered father of Gedor, Heber father of Soco, and Jekuthiel father of Zanoah.

19 The sons of Hodiah's wife, Naham's sister: the father of Keilah the Garmite, and Eshtemoa the Maacathite.

20 The sons of Shimon: Amnon, Rinnah, Ben-Hanan, and Tilon. The sons of Ishi: Zoheth and Ben-Zoheth.

21 The sons of Shelah son of Judah: Er the father of Lecah, Laadah the father of Mareshah and the family of linen workers at Beth Ashbea,

22 Jokim, the men of Cozeba, and Joash and Saraph, who ruled in Moab and Jashubi Lehem. (These records are from very old traditions.)

23 They were the potters who lived at Netaim and Gederah, resident potters who worked for the king.

24 The Simeon family tree: Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul;

25 Shaul had Shallum, Shallum had Mibsam, and Mibsam had Mishma.

26 The sons of Mishma: Hammuel had Zaccur and Zaccur had Shimei.

27 Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brothers were not nearly as prolific and never became a large family like Judah.

28 They lived in Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar Shual,

29 Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,

30 Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,

31 Beth Marcaboth, Hazar Susim, Beth Biri, and Shaaraim. They lived in these towns until David became king.

32 Other settlements in the vicinity were the five towns of Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Token, and Ashan,

33 and all the villages around these towns as far as Baalath. These were their settlements. And they kept good family records.

34 Meshobab; Jamlech; Joshah the son of Amaziah;

35 Joel; Jehu the son of Joshibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of Asiel;

36 Elioenai; Jaakobah; Jeshohaiah; Asaiah; Adiel; Jesimiel; Benaiah;

37 and Ziza the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah, the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah

38 - all these were the leaders in their families. They prospered and increased in numbers

39 so that they had to go as far as Gedor (Gerar) to the east of the valley looking for pasture for their flocks.

40 And they found it - lush pasture, lots of elbow room, peaceful and quiet.

41 But the men in these family trees came when Hezekiah was king of Judah and attacked the Hamites, tearing down their tents and houses. There was nothing left of them, as you can see today. Then they moved in and took over because of the great pastureland.

42 Five hundred of these Simeonites went on and invaded the hill country of Seir, led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.

43 They killed all the escaped Amalekites who were still around. And they still live there.
