1. The sons of Judah: Perez, Hezron, and Carmi, and Hur, and Shobal.

2. Truly, Reaiah, the son of Shobal, conceived Jahath; from him were born Ahumai and Lahad. These are the kindred of the Zorathites.

3. And this is the stock of Etam: Jezreel, and Ishma, and Idbash. And the name of their sister was Hazzelelponi.

4. Now Penuel was the father of Gedor, and Ezer was the father of Hushah. These are the sons of Hur, the firstborn of Ephratha, the father of Bethlehem.

5. Truly, for Ashhur, the father of Tekoa, there were two wives: Helah and Naarah.

6. And Naarah bore to him: Ahuzzam, and Hepher, and Temeni, and Haahashtari. These are the sons of Naarah.

7. And the sons of Helah were Zereth, Izhar, and Ethnan.

8. Now Koz conceived Anub, and Zobebah, and the kindred of Aharhel, the son of Harum.

9. But Jabez was renown, more so than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, "For I bore him in sorrow."

10. Truly, Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, "If only, when blessing, you will bless me, and will broaden my borders, and your hand will be with me, and you will cause me not to be oppressed by evil." And God granted to him the things for which he prayed.

11. Now Chelub, the brother of Shuhah, conceived Mehir, who was the father of Eshton.
