4 The sons of Judah: Perez, Hezron, and Karmi, and Hur, and Shobal. 2 And Reaiah the son of Shobal fathered Jahath. And Jahath fathered Ahumai and Lahad. These, the clans of the Zorathites. 3 And these of the father Etam: Jezreel, and Ishma, and Idbash. And the name of their sister, Hazzelelponi. 4 And Penuel, the father of Gedor, and Ezer the father of Hushah; these, the sons of Hur, the firstborn of Ephrathah, the father of Bethlehem. 5 And to Ashhur the father of Tekoa were two wives, Helah and Naarah. 6 And Naarah bore to him Ahuzzam, and Hepher, and Temeni, and Haahashtari. These, the sons of Naarah. 7 And the sons of Helah: Zereth, and Zohar, and Ethnan. 8 And Koz fatherered Anub and Hazzobebah. And the clans of Aharhel, the son of Harum. 9 And Jabez was respected more than his brothers. And his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore in pain.” 10 And Jabez called to the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that you would surely bless me, and would enlarge my territory, and your hand would be with me, and you would act not in accordance with harm, so that I might not be in pain!” And God brought about what he asked. 11 And Kelub, the brother of Shuhah, fathered Mehir; he, the father of Eshton. 12 And Eshton fathered Beth Rapha, and Paseah, and Tehinnah, the father of Ir Nahash.[fn] These, the men of Rekah. 13 And the sons of Kenaz: Othniel and Seraiah. And the sons of Othniel: Hathath.[fn] 14 And Meonothai fathered Ophrah, and Seraiah fathered Joab, the father of Ge-Harashim, for craftsmen they were. 15 And the sons of Caleb, the son of Jephunneh: Iru, Elah, and Naam. And the sons of Elah: Kenaz. 16 And the sons of Jehallelel: Ziph, and Ziphah, Tiria, and Asarel. 17 And the sons of Ezrah: Jether, and Mered, and Epher, and Jalon. And she conceived Miriam, and Shammai, and Ishbah, the father of Eshtemoa. 18 And his Judahite wife bore Jered the father of Gedor, and Heber the father of Soco, and Jekuthiel the father of Zanoah. And these, the sons of Bithiah the daughter of Pharaoh, whom Mered took. 19 And the sons of the wife of Hodiah, the sister of Naham, the father of Keilah the Garmite, and Eshtemoa the Maakathite. 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 Lekah, and Laadah the father of Mareshah, and the clans of the house of the service of linen at Beth Ashbea, 22 and Jokim, and the men of Kozeba, and Joash and Saraph, who ruled in Moab and Jashubi Lehem. And the words are ancient. 23 These, the potters and inhabitants in Netaim and Gederah. With the king in his work, they lived there.

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; Zakkur his son; Shimei his son. 27 And to Shimei, 16 sons and six daughters; but to his brothers, not many sons, and all their clan did not multiply like the sons of Judah. 28 And they lived in Beersheba, and Moladah, and Hazar Shual, 29 and in Bilhah, and in Ezem, and in Tolad, 30 and in Bethuel, and in Hormah, and in Ziklag, 31 and in Beth Markaboth, and in Hazar Susim, and in Beth Biri, and in Shaaraim. These, their cities until the reign of David. 32 And their villages: Etam, and Ain, and Rimmon, and Token, and Ashan, five towns, 33 and all their villages which are around these towns as far as Baal. These, their settlements, and their genealogy was to them. 34 And Meshobab, and Jamlech, and Joshah the son of Amaziah, 35 and Joel, and Jehu the son of Joshibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of Asiel, 36 and Elioenai, and Jaakobah, and Jeshohaiah, and Asaiah, and Adiel, and Jesimiel, and Benaiah, 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, leaders in their clans and the house of their fathers broke through into a multitude. 39 And they went to the entrance of Gedor, as far as to the east of the valley, to seek pasture for their flock. 40 And they found rich and good pasture, and the land was broad of hands, and quiet, and peaceful; for those from Ham had lived there before faces. 41 And these, written by names, came in the days of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, and struck down their tents and the Meunites, who were found there. And they destroyed them completely to this day, and they lived in their place because pasture for their flock was there. 42 And from them, from the sons of Simeon, they went to Mount Seir, 500 men, and Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, their heads. 43 And they struck down the rest of the Amalekites who escaped, and they have lived there to this day.

Some translations have who settled in the town of Nahash.

Most versions insert Meonothai into this verse, believing that it dropped out by a copyist’s mistake.
