1 Chronicles 8 - Expanded Bible (EXB)

The Family History of King Saul

8 Benjamin was the father of Bela, his ·first son [firstborn]. Ashbel was his second son, Aharah was his third, 2 Nohah was his fourth, and Rapha was his fifth son.

3 Bela’s sons were Addar, Gera, Abihud, 4 Abishua, Naaman, Ahoah, 5 Gera, Shephuphan, and Huram.

6 These were the descendants of Ehud and leaders of their ·families [clans] in Geba. They were ·forced to move [exiled; deported] to Manahath. 7 Ehud’s descendants were Naaman, Ahijah, and ·Gera [or Geba]. ·Gera [or Geba] ·forced them to leave [led them into exile]. He was the father of Uzza and Ahihud.

Shaharaim and his wife Hushim had sons named Abitub and Elpaal. In Moab, Shaharaim ·divorced [L sent away] his wives Hushim and Baara. Shaharaim and his wife Hodesh had these sons: Jobab, Zibia, Mesha, Malcam, Jeuz, Sakia, and Mirmah. They were leaders of their ·families [clans].

Elpaal’s sons were Eber, Misham, Shemed, Beriah, and Shema. Shemed built the towns of Ono and Lod and the villages around them. Beriah and Shema were leaders of the ·families [clans] living in Aijalon, and they ·forced out [drove out; routed] the people who lived in Gath.

14 Beriah’s sons were Ahio, Shashak, Jeremoth, 15 Zebadiah, Arad, Eder, 16 Michael, Ishpah, and Joha.

17 Elpaal’s sons were Zebadiah, Meshullam, Hizki, Heber, 18 Ishmerai, Izliah, and Jobab.

19 Shimei’s sons were Jakim, Zicri, Zabdi, 20 Elienai, Zillethai, Eliel, 21 Adaiah, Beraiah, and Shimrath.

22 Shashak’s sons were Ishpan, Eber, Eliel, 23 Abdon, Zicri, Hanan, 24 Hananiah, Elam, Anthothijah, 25 Iphdeiah, and Penuel.

26 Jeroham’s sons were Shamsherai, Shehariah, Athaliah, 27 Jaareshiah, Elijah, and Zicri.

28 The ·family histories [genealogical records] show that all these men were leaders of their ·families [clans] and lived in Jerusalem.

29 Jeiel lived in the town of Gibeon, where he was the leader. His wife was named Maacah. 30 Jeiel’s ·first son [firstborn] was Abdon. His other sons were Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab, 31 Gedor, Ahio, Zeker, 32 and Mikloth. Mikloth was the father of Shimeah. These sons also lived ·near [with; across from] their relatives in Jerusalem.

33 Ner was the father of Kish. Kish was the father of Saul, and Saul was the father of Jonathan, Malki-Shua, Abinadab, and Esh-Baal [C Ishbosheth; 2 Sam. 2:8].

34 Jonathan’s son was Merib-Baal [C Mephibosheth; 2 Sam. 4:4], who was the father of Micah.

35 Micah’s sons were Pithon, Melech, Tarea, and Ahaz. 36 Ahaz was the father of Jehoaddah. Jehoaddah was the father of Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri. Zimri was the father of Moza. 37 Moza was the father of Binea. Raphah was Binea’s son. Eleasah was Raphah’s son, and Azel was Eleasah’s son.

38 Azel had six sons: Azrikam, ·Bokeru [or the firstborn], Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan. All these were Azel’s sons.

39 Azel’s brother was Eshek. Eshek’s ·first son [firstborn] was Ulam, his second was Jeush, and Eliphelet was his third. 40 Ulam’s sons were mighty ·warriors [L men of valor] and good archers. They had many sons and grandsons—one hundred fifty of them in all.

All these men were Benjamin’s descendants.
