1 Chronicles 2:1-11

1 The sons of Israel were Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun,
2 Dan, Joseph, Benjamin, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
3 Judah had three sons from Bathshua, a Canaanite woman. Their names were Er, Onan, and Shelah. But the LORD saw that the oldest son, Er, was a wicked man, so he killed him.
4 Later Judah had twin sons from Tamar, his widowed daughter-in-law. Their names were Perez and Zerah. So Judah had five sons in all.
5 The sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.
6 The sons of Zerah were Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Calcol, and Darda —five in all.
7 The son of Carmi (a descendant of Zimri) was Achan, who brought disaster on Israel by taking plunder that had been set apart for the LORD .
8 The son of Ethan was Azariah.
9 The sons of Hezron were Jerahmeel, Ram, and Caleb.
10 Ram was the father of Amminadab. Amminadab was the father of Nahshon, a leader of Judah.
11 Nahshon was the father of Salmon. Salmon was the father of Boaz.
