1 Chronicles 7:20-29

Descendants of Ephraim

20 1The sons of Ephraim were Shuthelah and Bered his son, Tahath his son, Eleadah his son, Tahath his son,
21 Zabad his son, Shuthelah his son, and Ezer and Elead whom the men of Gath who were born in the land killed, because they came down to take their livestock.
22 Their father Ephraim 2mourned many days, and his relatives 3came to comfort him.
23 Then he went in to his wife, and she conceived and bore a son, and he named * him Beriah, because misfortune had come upon his house.
24 His daughter was Sheerah, 4who built lower and upper Beth-horon, also Uzzen-sheerah.
25 Rephah was his son along with Resheph, Telah his son, Tahan his son,
26 Ladan his son, Ammihud his son, Elishama his son,
27 Non his son and 5Joshua his son.
28 6Their possessions and settlements were Bethel with its towns, and to the east Naaran, and to the west Gezer with its towns, and Shechem with its towns as far as Ayyah with its towns,
29 and along the borders of the sons of Manasseh, Beth-shean with its towns, Taanach with its towns, Megiddo with its towns, Dor with its towns. In these lived the 7sons of Joseph the son of Israel.
