8 And Koz was the father of Anub and Zobebah, and the families of Aharhel the son of Harum.
9 And Jabez was honoured more than his brothers; but his mother had given him the name Jabez, saying, Because I gave birth to him with sorrow.
10 And Jabez made a prayer to the God of Israel, saying, If only you would truly give me a blessing, and make wider the limits of my land, and let your hand be with me, and keep me from evil, so that I may not be troubled by it! And God gave him his desire.
11 And Chelub, the brother of Shuhah, was the father of Mehir, who was the father of Eshton.

13 And the sons of Kenaz: Othniel and Seraiah; and the sons of Othniel: Hathath.
14 And Meonothai was the father of Ophrah; and Seraiah was the father of Joab, the father of Ge-harashim; they were expert workmen.

21 The sons of Shelah, the son of Judah: Er, the father of Lecah, and Laadah, the father of Mareshah, and the families of those who made delicate linen, of the family of Ashbea;
22 And Jokim, and the men of Cozeba, and Joash and Saraph, who were rulers in Moab, and went back to Beth-lehem. And the records are very old.
23 These were the potters, and the people living among planted fields with walls round them; they were there to do the king's work.
24 The sons of Simeon: Nemuel and Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, Shaul;
25 Shallum his son, Mibsam his son, Mishma his son.
26 And the sons of Mishma: Hammuel his son, Zaccur his son, Shimei his son.
27 And Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brothers had only a small number of children, and their family was not as fertile as the children of Judah.
28 And they were living at Beer-sheba and Moladah and Hazar-shual,
29 And at Bilhah, and at Ezem, and at Tolad,
30 And at Bethuel, and at Hormah, and at Ziklag,
31 And at Beth-marcaboth, and at Hazarsusim, and at Beth-biri, and at Shaaraim. These were their towns till David became king.
32 And their small towns were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, and Tochen and Ashan, five towns;
33 And all the small places round these towns, as far as Baalath-beer, the high place of the South. These were their living-places, and they have lists of their generations.

39 And they went to the opening into Gedor, as far as the east side of the valley, in search of grass-land for their flocks.
40 And they came to some good fertile grass-land, in a wide quiet country of peace-loving people; for the people who were living there before were of the offspring of Ham.
41 And these whose names are given came in the days of Hezekiah, king of Judah, and made an attack on the Meunim who were living there, and put an end to them to this day, and took their place, because there was grass there for their flocks.
42 And some of them, five hundred of the sons of Simeon, went to the hill-country of Seir, with Pelatiah and Neariah and Rephaiah and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, at their head.
43 And they put to death the rest of the Amalekites who had got away safely, and made it their living-place to this day.
1 Estes foram os descendentes de Judá: Perez, Hezrom, Carmi, Hur e Sobal.
2 Reaías, filho de Sobal, gerou Jaate, e Jaate gerou Aumai e Laade. Esses foram os clãs dos zoratitas.
3 Estes foram os filhos de Etã: Jezreel, Isma e Idbás. A irmã deles chamava-se Hazelelponi.
4 Depois teve Penuel, pai de Gedor, e Ézer, pai de Husá. Esses foram os descendentes de Hur, o filho mais velho de Efrate e pai de Belém.
5 Asur, fundador de Tecoa, teve duas mulheres: Helá e Naará.
6 Naará lhe deu Auzã, Héfer, Temeni e Haastari. Esses foram os filhos de Naará.
7 Estes foram os filhos de Helá: Zerete, Zoar, Etnã
8 e Coz, que gerou Anube e Zobeba e os clãs de Aarel, filho de Harum.
9 Jabez foi o homem mais respeitado de sua família. Sua mãe lhe deu o nome de Jabez, dizendo: "Com muitas dores o dei à luz".
10 Jabez orou ao Deus de Israel: "Ah, abençoa-me e aumenta as minhas terras! Que a tua mão esteja comigo, guardando-me de males e livrando-me de dores". E Deus atendeu ao seu pedido.
11 Quelube, irmão de Suá, gerou Meir, pai de Estom.
12 Estom gerou Bete-Rafa, Paséia e Teína, fundador de Ir-Naás. Esses habitaram em Reca.
13 Estes foram os filhos de Quenaz: Otoniel e Seraías. Estes foram os filhos de Otoniel: Hatate e Meonotai.
14 Meonotai gerou Ofra. Seraías gerou Joabe, fundador de Ge-Harasim que recebeu esse nome porque os seus habitantes eram artesãos.
15 Estes foram os filhos de Calebe, filho de Jefoné: Iru, Elá e Naã. O filho de Elá foi Quenaz.
16 Estes foram os filhos de Jealelel: Zife, Zifa, Tiria e Asareel.
17 Estes foram os filhos de Ezra: Jéter, Merede, Éfer e Jalom. Merede casou-se com Bitia, filha do faraó, e teve os seguintes filhos: Miriã, Samai e Isbá, fundador de Estemoa.
18 Sua mulher judia deu à luz a Jerede, fundador de Gedor, a Héber, fundador de Socó, e a Jecutiel, fundador de Zanoa.
19 Estes foram os filhos da mulher de Hodias, irmã de Naã: o pai de Queila, o garmita, e Estemoa, o maacatita.
20 Estes foram os filhos de Simão: Amnom, Rina, Bene-Hanã e Tilom. Estes foram os filhos de Isi: Zoete e Ben-Zoete.
21 Estes foram os filhos de Selá, filho de Judá: Er, pai de Leca; Lada, pai de Maressa. Selá também foi antepassado dos clãs dos que trabalhavam com linho em Bete-Asbéia,
22 de Joquim, dos homens de Cozeba, de Joás e de Sarafe, que governavam em Moabe e Jasubi-Leém. ( Estes registros são de épocas antigas. )
23 Eles eram oleiros e habitavam em Netaim e em Gederá, perto do rei, para quem trabalhavam.
24 Estes foram os filhos de Simeão: Nemuel, Jamim, Jaribe, Zerá e Saul;
25 O filho de Saul era Salum, pai de Mibsão, que foi o pai de Misma.
26 Estes foram os descendentes de Misma: seu filho Hamuel, pai de Zacur, que foi o pai de Simei.
27 Simei teve dezesseis filhos e seis filhas, mas seus irmãos não tiveram muitos filhos; por isso todos os seus clãs não se igualam em número à tribo de Judá.
28 Eles viviam em Berseba, Moladá, Hazar-Sual,
29 Bila, Ezém, Tolade,
30 Betuel, Hormá, Ziclague,
31 Bete-Marcabote, Hazar-Susim, Bete-Biri e Saaraim. Essas foram as suas cidades até o reinado de Davi.
32 Tinham também as cinco cidades de Etã, Aim, Rimom, Toquém e Asã,
33 com todos os povoados ao redor delas até Baalate. Nessas cidades viviam e mantinham um registro genealógico.
34 Mesobabe, Janleque, Josa, filho de Amazias,
35 Joel, Jeú, filho de Josibias, neto de Seraías e bisneto de Asiel;
36 também Elioenai, Jaacobá, Jesoaías, Asaías, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaia,
37 e Ziza, filho de Sifi, neto de Alom, bisneto de Jedaías, trineto de Sinri e tetraneto de Semaías.
38 Essa é a lista dos líderes dos seus clãs. Suas famílias cresceram muito,
39 e por isso foram para os arredores de Gedor, a leste do vale, em busca de pastagens para os seus rebanhos.
40 Encontraram muitas pastagens boas, numa região vasta, pacífica e tranqüila, onde alguns camitas tinham vivido anteriormente.
41 Durante o reinado de Ezequias, rei de Judá, esses homens aqui alistados chegaram e atacaram os camitas e os meunitas da região e os destruíram totalmente, como até hoje se pode ver. Depois ocuparam o lugar daqueles povos, pois havia pastagens para os seus rebanhos.
42 E quinhentos desses simeonitas, liderados por Pelatias, Nearias, Refaías e Uziel, filhos de Isi, invadiram as colinas de Seir.
43 Eles mataram o restante dos amalequitas que tinha escapado, e ali vivem até hoje.
