1 Chronicles 4:30-40

30 Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,
31 Beth Marcaboth, Hazar Susim, Beth Biri, and Shaaraim. These were their cities until David became king.
32 Their five cities were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan.
33 They also had all the villages around these cities as far as the city of Baal. These places were where they lived, and they had their own genealogical records:
34 Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah (son of Amaziah),
35 Joel, Jehu (son of Joshibiah, grandson of Seraiah, and great-grandson of Asiel),
36 Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah, and
37 Ziza (son of Shiphi, grandson of Allon, great-grandson of Jedaiah, a descendant of Shimri and Shemaiah).
38 These who are mentioned by name were leaders in their families, and the number of people in their households increased.
39 They moved to the outskirts of Gedor, on the east side of the valley, to find pasture for their flocks.
40 They found pasture that was rich and good. The land was vast, peaceful, and quiet because the Hamites used to live there.
