Genealogy from Benjamin to Saul 1And Benjamin begat Bela his firstborn, Ashbel the second, and Aharah the third, 2Nohah the fourth, and Rapha the fifth. 3And the sons of Bela: Addar, and Gera, and Abihud,† 4and Abishua, and Naaman, and Ahoah, 5and Gera, and Shephuphan, and Huram. 6And these are the sons of Ehud—these were the heads of fathers of those dwelling in Geba, and they carried them away to Manahath: 7Even Naaman, and Ahijah, and Gera. He carried them away, and he begat Uzza and Ahihud.† 8And Shaharaim begat in the land of Moab, after he had sent away Hushim and Baara his wives. 9And he begat by Hodesh his wife: Jobab, and Zibia, and Mesha, and Malcam, 10and Jeuz, and Sachiah, and Mirmah. These were his sons, heads of fathers. 11And by Hushim he begat: 12And the sons of Elpaal: Eber, and Misham, and Shemed (he built Ono and Lod and its daughters), 13and Beriah and Shema (they were heads of fathers of those dwelling in Aijalon; they drove out those dwelling in Gath), 14and Ahio, Shashak, and Jeremoth, 15and Zebadiah, and Arad, and Eder, 16and Michael, and Ispah, and Joha—the sons of Beriah, 17and Zebadiah, and Meshullam, and Hizki, and Heber, 18and Ishmerai, and Jizliah, and Jobab—the sons of Elpaal, 19and Jakim, and Zichri, and Zabdi, 20and Elienai, and Zillethai, and Eliel, 21and Adaiah, and Beraiah, and Shimrath—the sons of Shimei, 22and Ishpan, and Eber, and Eliel, 23and Abdon, and Zichri, and Hanan, 24and Hananiah, and Elam, and Antothijah, 25and Iphdeiah, and Penuel—the sons of Shashak, 26and Shamsherai, and Shehariah, and Athaliah, 27and Jaareshiah, and Elijah, and Zichri—the sons of Jeroham. 28These were heads of fathers by their generations; these heads dwelt in Jerusalem. 29And Jeiel the father of Gibeon† dwelt at Gibeon, and the name of his wife was Maacah; 30and his firstborn son was Abdon, and Zur, and Kish, and Baal,† and Nadab, 31and Gedor, and Ahio, and Zecher.† 32And Mikloth begat Shimeah.† And they also dwelt alongside their brothers in Jerusalem with their brothers. The Family of Saul 33And Ner begat Kish, and Kish begat Saul, and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Esh-baal.† 34And the son of Jonathan: Merib-baal,† and Merib-baal begat Micah.† 35And the sons of Micah: Pithon, and Melech, and Tarea,† and Ahaz. 36And Ahaz begat Jehoadah, and Jehoadah† begat Alemeth and Azmaveth and Zimri, and Zimri begat Moza, 37and Moza begat Binea, Raphah† his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son. 38And Azel had six sons, and these were their names: Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan—all these the sons of Azel. 39And the sons of Eshek his brother: Ulam his firstborn, Jeush the second, and Eliphelet the third. 40And the sons of Ulam were mighty men of valor, bending the bow and multiplying sons and grandsons—a hundred and fifty. All these were sons of Benjamin.
