1 Chronicles 2:3

The Family of Israel

1 These were the ^asons of Israel: ^bReuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun,

2 Dan, Joseph, Benjamin, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.

From Judah to David

3 The sons of ^aJudah were Er, Onan, and Shelah. These three were born to him by the daughter of ^bShua, the Canaanitess. ^cEr, the firstborn of Judah, was wicked in the sight of the Lord; so He killed him.

4 And ^aTamar, his daughter-in-law, ^bbore him Perez and Zerah. All the sons of Judah were five.

5 The sons of ^aPerez were Hezron and Hamul.

6 The sons of Zerah were Zimri, ^aEthan, Heman, Calcol, and Dara—five of them in all.

7 The son of ^aCarmi was Achar, the troubler of Israel, who transgressed in the ^baccursed thing.

8 The son of Ethan was Azariah.

9 Also the sons of Hezron who were born to him were Jerahmeel, Ram, and Chelubai.

10 Ram ^abegot Amminadab, and Amminadab begot Nahshon, ^bleader of the children of Judah;

11 Nahshon begot Salma, and Salma begot Boaz;

12 Boaz begot Obed, and Obed begot Jesse;

13 ^aJesse begot Eliab his firstborn, Abinadab the second, Shimea the third,

14 Nethanel the fourth, Raddai the fifth,

15 Ozem the sixth, and David the ^aseventh.

16 Now their sisters were Zeruiah and Abigail. ^aAnd the sons of Zeruiah were Abishai, Joab, and Asahel—three.

17 Abigail bore Amasa; and the father of Amasa was Jether the Ishmaelite.

The Family of Hezron

18 Caleb the son of Hezron had children by Azubah, his wife, and by Jerioth. Now these were her sons: Jesher, Shobab, and Ardon.

19 When Azubah died, Caleb took ^aEphrath as his wife, who bore him Hur.

Genealogies.

- We are now come to the register of the children of Israel, that distinguished people, who were to dwell alone, and not be reckoned among the nations. But now, in Christ, all are welcome to his salvation who come to him; all have equal privileges according to their faith in him, their love and devotedness to him. All that is truly valuable consists in the favour, peace, and image of God, and a life spent to his glory, in promoting the welfare of our fellow-creatures.
