1The sons of Benjamin were: Bela, his first-born; Ashbel, second; Aharah, third; 2Nohah, fourth; and Rapha, fifth. 3And the sons of Bela were: Addar, Gera, Abihud, 4Abishua, Naaman, Ahoah, 5Gera, Shephuphan, and Huram.

6And these are the sons of Ehud (possibly Abihud); who were the heads of the families of those living in Geba, and were carried away captive to Manahath: 7Naaman, Ahijah, and Gera. Gera, who led them into exile, was the father of Uzza, and Ahihud. 8And after Shaharaim divorced his wives, Hushim and Baara, he fathered children in the land of Moab. 9By his wife, Hodesh, he fathered Jobab, Zibia, Mesha, Malcam, 10Jeuz, Shachia, and Mirmah. These were his sons, heads of the fathers' houses. 11And by Hushim he fathered Abitub and Elpaal. 12The sons of Elpaal were: Eber, Misham, and Shamed, who built Ono, and Lod, with its surrounding villages, 13And Beriah and Shema, who were heads of the families of the inhabitants of Aijalon, who drove the inhabitants of Gath away; 14And Ahio, Shashak, and Jeremoth, 15And Zebadiah, and Arad, and Eder, 16Michael, Ishpah, and Joha, the sons of Beriah; 17And Zebadiah, Meshullam, Hizki, Heber; 18Ishmerai, Izliah, and Jobab, the sons of Elpaal; 19Jakim, Zichri, and Zabdi, 20Elienai, Zillethai, Eliel, 21Adaiah, Beraiah, and Shimrath were the sons of Shimei, 22Ishpan, Heber, Eliel, 23Abdon, Zichri, Hanan, 24Hananiah, Elam, Antothijah, 25Iphedeiah, and Penuel were the sons of Shashak; 26Shamsherai, Shehariah, Athaliah, 27Jaareshiah, Elijah and Zichri were the sons of Jeroham. 28All these were heads of families, listed by their generations, chief men; and they dwelt in Jerusalem.

29And Jeiel, the father of Gibeon, lived at Gibeon; and his wife's name was Maachah; 30And his first-born son was Abdon, followed by Zur, Kish, Baal, Nadab, 31Gedor, Ahio, and Zecher (Zechariah). 32And Mikloth fathered Shimeah. These also dwelt near their brothers in Jerusalem. 33And Ner fathered Kish; and Kish fathered Saul; and Saul fathered Jonathan, Malchi-shua, Abinadab, and Esh-baal. 34And the son of Jonathan was Merib-baal; and Merib-baal fathered Micah. 35And the sons of Micah were Pithon, Melech, Tarea, and Ahaz. 36And Ahaz fathered Jehoaddah; and Jehoaddah fathered Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri fathered Moza, 37And Moza fathered Binea; Rapha was his son; Eleasah, his son, Azel, his son. 38And Azel had six sons, namely: Azrikam, Bocheru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan. 39And the sons of Azel’s brother Eshek were: Ulam, his first-born; Jeush, the second, and Eliphelet, the third. 40And the sons of Ulam were mighty men of valor, archers, and had many sons, and sons' sons, a hundred fifty. All these are of the descendants of Benjamin.
