1 Chronicles 4:25-41 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

25. Shallum his son, Miḇsam his son, Mishma his son.

26. And the sons of Mishma: Ḥammu’ĕl his son, Zakkur his son, Shim‛i his son.

27. And Shim‛i had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brothers did not have many children, nor did any of their clans increase as much as the children of Yehuḏah.

28. And they dwelt at Be’ĕrsheḇa, and Molaḏah, and Ḥatsar Shu‛al,

29. and at Bilhah, and at Etsem, and at Tolaḏ,

30. and at Bethu’ĕl, and at Ḥormah, and at Tsiqlag̅,

31. and at Bĕyth Markaḇoth, and at Ḥatsar Susim, and at Bĕyth Bir‛i, and at Sha‛arayim. These were their cities until the reign of Dawiḏ.

32. And their villages were Ěytam, and Ayin, and Rimmon, and Toḵen, and Ashan, five cities,

33. and all the villages that were around these cities as far as Ba‛al. These were their dwelling places, and they kept their genealogy.

34. And Meshoḇaḇ, and Yamlĕḵ, and Yoshah son of Amatsyah;

35. and Yo’ĕl, and Yĕhu son of Yoshiḇyah, son of Serayah, son of Asi’ĕl;

36. and Elyo‛ĕynai, and Ya‛aqoḇah, and Yeshoḥayah, and Asayah, and Aḏi’ĕl, and Yesimi’ĕl, and Benayah;

37. and Ziza son of Shiphi, son of Allon, son of Yeḏayah, son of Shimri, son of Shemayah.

38. These mentioned by name were leaders in their clans, and their father’s house increased greatly.

39. And they went to the entrance of Geḏor, as far as the east side of the valley, to look for pasture for their flocks,

40. and they found rich, good pasture, and the land was broad, undisturbed and safe, for some Ḥamites had dwelt there formerly.

41. And these written by name came in the days of Ḥizqiyahu sovereign of Yehuḏah, and smote their tents, and the homes that were found there, and put them under the ban, as it is to this day, and dwelt in their place, because there was pasture for their flocks there.
