1 Os filhos de Judá foram: Perez, Hezrom, Carmi, Hur e Sobal. 2 Reaías, filho de Sobal, gerou a Jaate; Jaate gerou a Aumai e a Laade; são estas as famílias dos zoratitas. 3 Estes foram os filhos do pai de Etã: Jezreel, Isma e Idbas; e era o nome da irmã deles Hazelelponi; 4 e mais Penuel, pai de Gedor, e Ezer, pai de Husa; estes foram os filhos de Hur, o primogênito de Efrata e pai de Belém. 5 Asur, pai de Tecoa, teve duas mulheres: Hela e Naara. 6 Naara deu à luz a Auzão, a Héfer, a Temeni e a Haastari; estes foram os filhos de Naara. 7 Os filhos de Hela: Zerete, Isar e Etnã. 8 Coz gerou a Anube e a Zobeba e foi pai das famílias de Aarel, filho de Harum. 9 Foi Jabez mais ilustre do que seus irmãos; sua mãe chamou-lhe Jabez, dizendo: Porque com dores o dei à luz. 10 Jabez invocou o Deus de Israel, dizendo: Oh! Tomara que me abençoes e me alargues as fronteiras, que seja comigo a tua mão e me preserves do mal, de modo que não me sobrevenha aflição! E Deus lhe concedeu o que lhe tinha pedido. 11 Quelube, irmão de Suá, gerou a Meir; este é o pai de Estom. 12 Estom gerou a Bete-Rafa, a Paseia e a Teína, pai de Ir-Naás; estes foram os homens de Reca. 13 Os filhos de Quenaz foram: Otniel e Seraías; o filho de Otniel: Hatate. 14 Meonotai gerou a Ofra, e Seraías gerou a Joabe, fundador do vale dos Artífices, porque os dali eram artífices. 15 Os filhos de Calebe, filho de Jefoné: Iru, Elá e Naã; e o filho de Elá: Quenaz. 16 Os filhos de Jealelel: Zife, Zifa, Tiria e Asareel. 17 Os filhos de Ezra: Jéter, Merede, Éfer e Jalom; foram os filhos de Bitia, filha de Faraó, que Merede tomou por mulher: Miriã, Samai e Isbá, pai de Estemoa. 18 E sua mulher, judia, deu à luz a Jerede, pai de Gedor, a Héber, pai de Socó, e a Jecutiel, pai de Zanoa. 19 Os filhos da mulher de Hodias, irmã de Naã: Abiqueila, o garmita, e Estemoa, o maacatita. 20 Os filhos de Simão: Amnom, Rina, Ben-Hanã e Tilom; e os filhos de Isi: Zoete e Ben-Zoete; 21 os filhos de Selá, filho de Judá: Er, pai de Leca, e Lada, pai de Maressa; Selá foi também pai das famílias da casa dos obreiros em linho, em Bete-Asbeia, 22 como ainda Joquim, e os homens de Cozeba, de Joás, de Sarafe, os quais dominavam sobre Moabe, e de Jasubi-Leém. Estes registros são antigos. 23 Estes eram oleiros e habitantes de Netaim e de Gedera; moravam ali com o rei para o servirem.
24 Os filhos de Simeão foram: Nemuel, Jamim, Jaribe, Zerá e Saul, 25 de quem foi filho Salum, de quem foi filho Mibsão, de quem foi filho Misma. 26 O filho de Misma foi Hamuel, de quem foi filho Zacur, de quem foi filho Simei. 27 Simei teve dezesseis filhos e seis filhas; mas seus irmãos não tiveram muitos filhos, nem se multiplicaram todas as suas famílias como os filhos de Judá. 28 Habitavam em Berseba, em Molada, em Hazar-Sual, 29 em Bila, em Ezém, em Tolade, 30 em Betuel, em Horma, em Ziclague, 31 em Bete-Marcabote, em Hazar-Susim, em Bete-Biri e em Saaraim. Estas foram as suas cidades, até ao reinado de Davi. 32 As suas aldeias foram: Etã, Aim, Rimom, Toquém e Asã; cinco cidades, 33 com todas as suas aldeias que estavam ao redor destas cidades, até Baal. Estas foram as suas habitações e tinham seu registro genealógico. 34 Estes, registrados por seus nomes, foram príncipes nas suas famílias: Mesobabe, Janleque, Josa, filho de Amazias, 35 Joel, Jeú, filho de Josibias, filho de Seraías, filho de Asiel, 36 Elioenai, Jaacobá, Jesoaías, Asaías, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaia, 37 Ziza, filho de Sifi, filho de Alom, filho de Jedaías, filho de Sinri, filho de Semaías; 38 e as famílias de seus pais se multiplicaram abundantemente. 39 Chegaram até à entrada de Gedor, ao oriente do vale, à procura de pasto para os seus rebanhos. 40 Acharam pasto farto e bom e a terra espaçosa, tranquila e pacífica, onde habitaram, dantes, os descendentes de Cam. 41 Estes, que estão registrados por seus nomes, vieram nos dias de Ezequias, rei de Judá, e derribaram as tendas, e feriram os meunitas que se encontraram ali, e os destruíram totalmente até ao dia de hoje, e habitaram em lugar deles, porque ali havia pasto para os seus rebanhos. 42 Também deles, dos filhos de Simeão, quinhentos homens foram ao monte Seir, tendo por capitães a Pelatias, a Nearias, a Refaías e a Uziel, filhos de Isi. 43 Feriram o restante dos que escaparam dos amalequitas e habitam ali até ao dia de hoje.

10 Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request.
11 Kelub, Shuhah's brother, was the father of Mehir, who was the father of Eshton.

14 Meonothai was the father of Ophrah. Seraiah was the father of Joab, the father of Ge Harashim. "It was called this because its people were skilled workers.

26 The descendants of Mishma: Hammuel his son, Zakkur his son and Shimei his son.
27 Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brothers did not have many children; so their entire clan did not become as numerous as the people of Judah.
28 They lived in Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar Shual,
29 Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,
30 Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,

37 and Ziza son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah, the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah.
38 The men listed above by name were leaders of their clans. Their families increased greatly,
39 and they went to the outskirts of Gedor to the east of the valley in search of pasture for their flocks.
40 They found rich, good pasture, and the land was spacious, peaceful and quiet. Some Hamites had lived there formerly.
41 The men whose names were listed came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. They attacked the Hamites in their dwellings and also the Meunites who were there and completely destroyed "them, as is evident to this day. Then they settled in their place, because there was pasture for their flocks.
42 And five hundred of these Simeonites, led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, invaded the hill country of Seir.
43 They killed the remaining Amalekites who had escaped, and they have lived there to this day.
