These were his sons, heads of the fathers.11And of Hushim he begat Abitub, and Elpaal.12The sons of Elpaal; Eber, and Misham, and Shamed, who built Ono, and Lod, with the towns thereof:13Beriah also, and Shema, who were heads of the fathers of the inhabitants of Aijalon, who drove away the inhabitants of Gath:14And Ahio, Shashak, and Jeremoth,15And Zebadiah, and Arad, and Ader,16And Michael, and Ispah, and Joha, the sons of Beriah;17And Zebadiah, and Meshullam, and Hezeki, and Heber,18Ishmerai also, and Jezliah, and Jobab, the sons of Elpaal;19And Jakim, and Zichri, and Zabdi,20And Elienai, and Zilthai, and Eliel,21And Adaiah, and Beraiah, and Shimrath, the sons of Shimhi;22And Ishpan, and Heber, and Eliel,23And Abdon, and Zichri, and Hanan,24And Hananiah, and Elam, and Antothijah,25And Iphedeiah, and Penuel, the sons of Shashak;26And Shamsherai, and Shehariah, and Athaliah,27And Jaresiah, and Eliah, and Zichri, the sons of Jeroham.28These were heads of the fathers, by their generations, chief men. These dwelt in Jerusalem.29And at Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon; whose wife’s name was Maachah:30And his firstborn son Abdon, and Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Nadab,31And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zacher.32And Mikloth begat Shimeah. And these also dwelt with their brethren in Jerusalem, over against them.33And Ner begat Kish, and Kish begat Saul, and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.34And the son of Jonathan was Meribbaal; and Meribbaal begat Micah.35And the sons of Micah were, Pithon, and Melech, and Tarea, and Ahaz.36And Ahaz begat Jehoadah; and Jehoadah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza,37And Moza begat Binea: Rapha was his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son:38And Azel had six sons, whose names are these, Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan. All these were the sons of Azel.39And the sons of Eshek his brother were, Ulam his firstborn, Jehush the second, and Eliphelet the third.40And the sons of Ulam were mighty men of valour, archers, and had many sons, and sons’ sons, an hundred and fifty. All these are of the sons of Benjamin.
