7. The sons of Bela: Ezbon, and Uzzi, and Uzziel, and Jerimoth and Iri, five leaders of families, also very fit for battle; and their number was twenty-two thousand thirty-four.

8. Now the sons of Becher: Zemirah, and Joash, and Eliezer, and Elioenai, and Omri, and Jeremoth, and Abijah, and Anathoth, and Alemeth: all these were sons of Becher.

9. And they were numbered according to their families, by the leaders of their kindred, very strong in warfare, twenty thousand and two hundred.

10. And the sons of Jediael: Bilhan, and the sons of Bilhan: Jeush, and Benjamin, and Ehud, and Chenaanah, and Zethan, and Tarshish, and Ahishahar.

11. All these were sons of Jediael, the leaders of their kindred, very strong men, seventeen thousand and two hundred, going forth to battle.

12. Also, Shuppim and Huppim, the sons of Ir; and Hushim, sons of Aher.

13. Then the sons of Naphtali: Jahziel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shallum, sons of Bilhah.

14. Also, the son of Manasseh: Asriel. And his concubine, a Syrian, bore Machir, the father of Gilead.

15. Now Machir took wives for his sons, Huppim and Shuppim. And he had a sister named Maacah; but the name of the second was Zelophehad, and daughters were born to Zelophehad.

16. And Maacah, 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. Then the son of Ulam: Bedan. These are the sons of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh.

21. and his son was Shuthelah, and his son was Ezer, and also Elead. But the men indigenous to Gath killed them, because they had descended to invade their possessions.

22. And so their father, Ephraim, mourned for many days; and his brothers arrived, so that they might console him.

23. And he entered to his wife; she conceived and bore a son. And he called his name Beriah, because he rose up during a time of evil for his house.

24. Now his daughter was Sheerah, who built lower and upper Beth-horon, and also Uzzen-sheerah.
