1 Chronicles 4:2-12

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.
4 Penuel had Gedor and Ezer had Hushah. These were the sons of Hur, firstborn son of Ephrathah, who was the father of Bethlehem.
5 Ashhur the father of Tekoa had two wives, Helah and Naarah.
6 Naarah gave birth to Ahuzzam, Hepher, Temeni, and Haahashtari - Naarah's children.
7 Helah's sons were Zereth, Zohar, Ethnan,
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.
