1 Chronicles 7:14-24

14 The sons of Manasseh: Asriel, ... whom she bore; his Syrian concubine bore Machir the father of Gilead.
15 And Machir took a wife [the sister] of Huppim and Shuppim, and the name of their sister was Maachah. And the name of the second [son] was Zelophehad; and Zelophehad had daughters.
16 And Maachah the wife of Machir bore a son, and she called his name Peresh; and the name of his brother was Sheresh; and his sons were Ulam and Rakem.
17 And the sons of Ulam: Bedan. These were the sons of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh.
18 And his sister Moleketh bore Ishhod, and Abiezer, and Mahlah.
19 And the sons of Shemidah were Ahian, and Shechem, and Likhi, and Aniam.
20 And the sons of Ephraim: Shuthelah, and Bered his son, and Tahath his son, and Eladah his son, and Tahath his son,
21 and Zabad his son, and Shuthelah his son, and Ezer, and Elad. And the men of Gath born in the land slew them, because they came down to take their cattle.
22 And Ephraim their father mourned many days, and his brethren came to comfort him.
23 And he went in to his wife; and she conceived, and bore a son; and he called his name Beriah, for [he was born] when calamity was in his house.
24 And his daughter was Sheerah; and she built Beth-horon the nether, and the upper, and Uzzen-sheerah.
