2 Sobal teve um filho, Reaías, que foi pai de Jaate, o antepassado de Aumai e de Laade. Estes são conhecidos como sendo as famílias dos zoratitas.
3 Os descendentes de Etã: Jezreel; Isma; Idbas; Hazellelponi (sua filha); Penuel (o pai de Gedor); Ezer (o pai Husá); o filho de Hur, o filho mais velho de Efrata, que foi pai de Belém.
5 Asur, o pai de Tecoa, teve duas mulheres: Hela e Naará.
6 Naará deu à luz Auzão, Hefer, Temeni e Haastari; e Hela deu-lhe Zerete, Izar e Etnã.
8 Coz foi pai de Anube e de Zobeba; foi também o antepassado das famílias chamadas pelo nome de Aarel, filho de Harum.
9 Jabez foi o mais ilustre de todos os seus irmãos. A sua mãe chamou-lhe Jabez porque teve com ele um parto muito difícil.
10 Este invocou o Deus de Israel; e orou desta maneira: Peço-te que me concedas as tuas maravilhosas bênçãos! E que me favoreças no meu trabalho. Sê comigo em tudo o que fizer. Guarda-me do mal e das desgraças! Deus respondeu ao seu pedido.
13 Os filhos de Quenas foram Otniel e Seraías. Otniel teve como filhos Hatate e Menotai;
14 Menotai foi pai de Ofra; Seraías foi pai de Joabe, o antepassado dos habitantes do vale dos Artífices, assim chamado porque ali se concentrou um grande número de artesãos.
15 Os filhos de Calebe, filho de Jefoné: Iru, Elá e Naã. Os filhos de Elá incluiam Quenaz.
16 Foram filhos de Jealelel: Zife, Zifa, Tiria e Asareel.
17 Os filhos de Ezra são os seguintes: Jeter, Merede, Efer, Jalom. Merede casou-se com Bitia (uma princesa egípcia), que foi mãe de Miriã, de Samai e de Isbá (o antepassado de Estemoa).
18 A mulher de Estemoa foi uma judia, que se tornou a mãe de Jerede, de Heber e de Jecutiel, que foram respectivamente os antepassados dos gedonitas, dos socoitas e dos zanoaitas.
19 Hodias teve por mulher a irmã de Naã. Um dos seus filhos foi o pai de Queila, o garmite; e outro foi pai de Estemoa, o maacatita.
20 Os filhos de Simão são os seguintes: Amom, Rina, Bene-Hanã e Tilom. Foram filhos de Isi: Zoete e Bene-Zoete.
23 Estas famílias ficaram conhecidas por serem uns, oleiros, outros cultivadores de hortas e pomares; todos trabalhavam para o rei.
25 O filho de Saul chamou-se Salum, o seu neto Mibsão e o seu bisneto Misma.
26 Os filhos de Misma incluiam Hamuel (pai de Zacur e avô de Simei).
27 Simei teve dezasseis filhos e seis filhas; no entanto nenhum dos seus irmãos teve grandes famílias - todos eles tiveram poucos filhos; menos, em todo o caso, do que era normal em Judá.
28 Habitaram em Berseba, em Molada, em Hazar-Sual, em Bila, em Ezem, em Tolade, em Betuel, em Horma, em Ziclague, em Bete-Marcabote, em Hazar-Susim, em Bete-Biri e em Saaraim. Estas foram as povoações que estiveram sob o seu controlo até ao tempo de David.
32 Os descendentes habitaram também em ou perto das seguintes localidades: Etã, Aim, Rimom, Toquem e Asã; algumas eram tão distantes que não ficavam muito longe de Baal. (Tudo isto está relatado nas suas genealogias.)
40 Acharam boas pastagens, terra espaçosa e fértil. Mas aquele zona pertencia aos descendentes de Cam. Por isso, durante o reinado de Ezequias, rei de Judá, esses príncipes, atrás nomeados, invadiram a terra e destruiram as tendas e as habitações dos descendentes de Cam; mataram os habitantes da terra e apoderaram-se da região.
42 Mais tarde, quinhentos destes invasores da tribo de Simeão foram para as montanhas de Seir. (Os seus líderes eram Pelatias, Nearias, Refaías, Uziel - todos filhos de Isi.) Destruíram os poucos que restavam ainda dos amalequitas, e ficaram lá a viver.
1 The sons of Judah: Perez, Hezron, and Carmi, and Hur, and Shobal.
2 And Reaiah the son of Shobal begot Jahath; and Jahath begot Ahumai and Lahad. These are the families of the Zorathites.
3 And these were the father of Etam: Jezreel, and Ishma, and Idbash; and the name of their sister was Hazzelelponi;
4 and Penuel the father of Gedor, and Ezer the father of Hushah. These are the sons of Hur, the firstborn of Ephrathah, the father of Beth-lehem.

8 And Hakkoz begot Anub, and Zobebah, and the families of Aharhel the son of Harum.
9 And Jabez was more honorable than his brothers: and his mother named him Jabez, saying, Because I bore him with sorrow.
10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from evil, that it is not to my sorrow! And God granted him that which he requested.
11 And Chelub the brother of Shuhah begot Mehir, who was the father of Eshton.

20 And the sons of Shimon: Amnon, and Rinnah, Ben-hanan, and Tilon. And the sons of Ishi: Zoheth, and Ben-zoheth.
21 The sons of Shelah the son of Judah: Er the father of Lecah, and Laadah the father of Mareshah, and the families of the house of those who wrought fine linen, of the house of Ashbea;
22 and Jokim, and the men of Cozeba, and Joash, and Saraph, who had dominion in Moab. And they returned to Lehem. And the records are ancient.
23 These were the potters, and the inhabitants of Netaim and Gederah: there they dwelt with the king for his 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 did not have many sons, neither did all their family multiply like the sons of Judah.
28 And they dwelt at Beer-sheba, and Moladah, and Hazarshual,
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 Hazar-susim, and at Beth-biri, and at Shaaraim. These were their cities to the reign of David.
32 And their villages were Etam, and En-Rimmon, and Tochen, and Ashan;
33 and all their villages that were round about the same cities, to Baal. These were their habitations, and they have their genealogy.
34 And Meshobab, and Jamlech, and Joshah the son of Amaziah,

37 and Ziza the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah, the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah-
38 these mentioned by name were princes in their families: and their fathers' houses increased greatly.
39 And they went to the entrance of Gedor, even to the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.
40 And they found fat and good pasture, and the land was wide, and quiet, and peaceable; for those who dwelt there previously were of Ham.
41 And these written by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and struck their tents, and the Meunim who were found there, and destroyed them completely to this day, and dwelt in their stead; because there was pasture there for their flocks.
42 And some of them, even of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men, went to mount Seir, having for their captains Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.
43 And they struck the remnant of the Amalekites that escaped, and have dwelt there to this day.
