1 Chronicles 4:30-40 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

30. Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,

31. Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susim, Bethbiri, and Shaaraim. Until the reign of David, these were their cities

32. and their villages. Etam, also, and Ain, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan—five cities,

33. together with all their outlying villages as far as Baal. Here is where they dwelt, and so it was inscribed of them in their family records.

34. Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah, son of Amaziah,

35. Joel, Jehu, son of Joshibiah, son of Seraiah, son of Asiel,

36. Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah,

37. Ziza, son of Shiphi, son of Allon, son of Jedaiah, son of Shimri, son of Shemaiah—

38. these just named were princes in their clans, and their ancestral houses spread out to such an extent

39. that they went to the approaches of Gedor, east of the valley, seeking pasture for their flocks.

40. They found abundant and good pastures, and the land was spacious, quiet, and peaceful—for the Hamites dwelt there formerly.
