32 And their villages were Etam, A'in, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan, five cities,
33 along with all their villages which were round about these cities as far as Ba'al. These were their settlements, and they kept a genealogical record.

38 these mentioned by name were princes in their families, and their fathers' houses increased greatly.
39 They journeyed to the entrance of Gedor, to the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks,
40 where they found rich, good pasture, and the land was very broad, quiet, and peaceful; for the former inhabitants there belonged to Ham.
