1 Chronicles 2:25-35

25 And sons were born of Jerahmeel, the first begotten (son) of Hezron; (and) Ram was the first begotten son of him, and then Bunah, and Oren, and Ozem, and Ahijah. (And sons were born to Jerahmeel, the first-born son of Hezron; and Ram was his first-born son, and then Bunah, and Oren, and Ozem, and Ahijah.)

26 Also Jerahmeel wedded another wife, Atarah by name, that was the mother of Onam. (And Jerahmeel wed another wife, who was named Atarah; she was the mother of Onam.)

27 But and the sons of Ram, the first begotten (son) of Jerahmeel, were Maaz, and Jamin, and Eker.

28 And Onam begat sons, Shammai, and Jada. And the sons of Shammai were Nadab, and Abishur;

29 and the name of the wife of Abishur was Abihail, that childed to him Ahban, and Molid (who bare him Ahban, and Molid).

30 And the sons of Nadab were Seled and Appaim; forsooth Seled died without children.

31 And the son of Appaim was Ishi, the which Ishi begat Sheshan; certainly Sheshan begat Ahlai.

32 And the sons of Jada, the brother of Shammai, were Jether, and Jonathan; but Jether died without sons;

33 and Jonathan begat Peleth, and Zaza. These were the sons of Jerahmeel.

34 And Sheshan had not sons, but daughters, and a servant of Egypt (and an Egyptian servant), Jarha by name;

35 and he gave his daughter to wife to Jarha, which childed Attai to him. (and Sheshan gave his daughter to Jarha for a wife, and she bare him Attai.)
