And God granted him all that he asked. 11And Chaleb the father of Ascha begot Machir; he [was] the father of Assathon. 12He begot Bathraias, and Besseë, and Thæman the founder of the city of Naas the brother of Eselom the Kenezite: these [were] the men of Rechab. 13And the sons of Kenez; Gothoniel, and Saraia: and the sons of Gothoniel; Athath. 14And Manathi begot Gophera: and Saraia begot Jobab, the father of Ageaddair, for they were artificers. 15And the sons of Chaleb the son of Jephonne; Er, Ada, and Noom: and the sons of Ada, Kenez. 16And the sons of Aleel, Zib, and Zepha, and Thiria, and Eserel. 17And the sons of Esri; Jether, Morad, and Apher, and Jamon: and Jether begot Maron, and Semei, and Jesba the father of Esthæmon. 18And his wife, that [is] Adia, bore Jared the father of Gedor, and Aber the father of Sochon, and Chetiel the father of Zamon: and these [are] the sons of Betthia the daughter of Pharao, whom Mored took. 19And the sons of the wife of Iduia the sister of Nachaim the father of Keila; Garmi, and Esthæmon the Nochathite. 20And the sons of Semon; Amnon, and Ana the son of Phana, and Inon: and the sons of Sei, Zoan, and the sons of Zoab. 21The sons of Selom the son of Juda; Er the father of Lechab, and Laada the father of Marisa, and the offspring of the family of Ephrathabac [belonging to] the house of Esoba. 22And Joakim, and the men of Chozeba, and Joas, and Saraph, who dwelt in Moab, and he changed their names to Abederin and Athukiim. 23These [are] the potters who dwelt in Ataim and Gadira with the king: they grew strong in his kingdom, and dwelt there. 24The sons of Semeon; Namuel, and Jamin, Jarib, Zares, Saul: 25Salem his son, Mabasam his son, Masma his son: 26Amuel his son, Sabud his son, Zacchur his son, Semei his son. 27Semei [had] sixteen sons, and six daughters; and his brethren had not many sons, neither did all their families multiply as the sons of Juda. 28And they dwelt in Bersabee, and Molada, and in Esersual, 29and in Balaa, and in Æsem, and in Tholad, 30and in Bathuel, and in Herma, and in Sikelag, 31and in Bæthmarimoth, and Hemisuseosin, and the house of Baruseorim: these [were] their cities until [the time of] king David. 32And their villages [were] Ætan, and En, Remnon, and Thocca, and Æsar, five cities. 33And all their villages [were] round about these cities, as far as Baal: this [was] their possession, and their distribution. 34And Mosobab, and Jemoloch, and Josia the son of Amasia; 35and Joel, and Jeu the son of Asabia, the son of Sarau, the son of Asiel; 36and Elionai, and Jocaba, and Jasuia, and Asaia, and Jediel, and Ismael, and Banaias; 37and Zuza the son of Saphai, the son of Alon, the son of Jedia, the son of Semri, the son of Samaias. 38These went by the names of princes in their families, and they increased abundantly in their fathers' households. 39And they went till they came to Gerara, to the east of Gai, to seek pasture for their cattle. 40And they found abundant and good pastures, and the land before them [was] wide, and [there was] peace and quietness; for [there were] some of the children of Cham who dwelt there before. 41And these who are written by name came in the days of Ezekias king of Juda, and they smote the people's houses, and the Minæans whom they found there, and utterly destroyed them until this day: and they dwelt in their place, because [there was] pasture there for their cattle. 42And some of them, [even] of the sons of Symeon, went to mount Seir, [even] five hundred men; and Phalaettia, and Noadia, and Raphaia, and Oziel, sons of Jesi, [were] their rulers. 43And they smote the remnant that were left of Amalec, until this day.
