1 Chronicles 3-5New King James Version (NKJV)
The Family of David
3 Now these were the sons of David who were born
to him in Hebron: The firstborn was Amnon, by Ahinoam the
Jezreelitess; the second, Daniel,[a] by Abigail the
Carmelitess; 2 the third, Absalom the son of
Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur; the fourth, Adonijah the son of
Haggith; 3 the fifth, Shephatiah, by Abital; the
sixth, Ithream, by his wife Eglah.
4 These six were born to
him in Hebron. There he reigned seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he
reigned thirty-three years. 5 And these were born
to him in Jerusalem: Shimea,[b] Shobab, Nathan, and
Solomon—four by Bathshua[c] the daughter of
Ammiel.[d] 6 Also there were
Ibhar, Elishama,[e]Eliphelet,[f] 7 Nogah,
Nepheg, Japhia, 8 Elishama, Eliada,[g] and
Eliphelet—nine in all. 9 These were all
the sons of David, besides the sons of the concubines, and Tamar their sister.
The Family of Solomon
10 Solomon’s son was Rehoboam;
Abijah[h] was his
son, Asa his son, Jehoshaphat his son, 11 Joram[i] his son, Ahaziah his
son, Joash[j] his son, 12 Amaziah
his son, Azariah[k] his son, Jotham his
son, 13 Ahaz his son, Hezekiah his son, Manasseh
his son, 14 Amon his son, and Josiah
his son. 15 The sons of Josiah were Johanan
the firstborn, the second Jehoiakim, the third Zedekiah, and the fourth
Shallum.[l] 16 The
sons of Jehoiakim were Jeconiah his son and Zedekiah[m] his son.
The Family of Jeconiah
17 And the sons of Jeconiah[n] were Assir,[o] Shealtiel his
son, 18 and Malchiram, Pedaiah, Shenazzar,
Jecamiah, Hoshama, and Nedabiah. 19 The sons of
Pedaiah were Zerubbabel and Shimei. The sons of
Zerubbabel were Meshullam, Hananiah, Shelomith their
sister, 20 and Hashubah, Ohel, Berechiah, Hasadiah,
and Jushab-Hesed—five in all.
21 The sons of Hananiah were Pelatiah
and Jeshaiah, the sons of Rephaiah, the sons of Arnan, the sons of Obadiah, and
the sons of Shechaniah. 22 The son of Shechaniah
was Shemaiah. The sons of Shemaiah were Hattush, Igal, Bariah,
Neariah, and Shaphat—six in all. 23 The
sons of Neariah were Elioenai, Hezekiah, and
Azrikam—three in all. 24 The sons of
Elioenai were Hodaviah, Eliashib, Pelaiah, Akkub, Johanan,
Delaiah, and Anani—seven in all.
The Family of Judah
4 The sons of Judah were Perez,
Hezron, Carmi, Hur, and Shobal. 2 And Reaiah the
son of Shobal begot Jahath, and Jahath begot Ahumai and Lahad. These were the
families of the Zorathites. 3 These were
the sons of the father of Etam: Jezreel, Ishma, and Idbash; and the
name of their sister was Hazelelponi; 4 and
Penuel was the father of Gedor, and Ezer was the father
of Hushah.
These were the sons of Hur, the firstborn
of Ephrathah the father of Bethlehem.
5 And Ashhur the father of Tekoa had
two wives, Helah and Naarah. 6 Naarah bore him
Ahuzzam, Hepher, Temeni, and Haahashtari. These were the sons
of Naarah. 7 The sons of Helah were Zereth,
Zohar, and Ethnan; 8 and Koz begot Anub, Zobebah,
and the families of Aharhel the son of Harum.
9 Now Jabez was more honorable than
his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez,[p] saying, “Because I
bore him in pain.” 10 And Jabez
called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and
enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would
keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted
him what he requested.
11 Chelub the brother of Shuhah begot
Mehir, who was the father of Eshton. 12 And
Eshton begot Beth-Rapha, Paseah, and Tehinnah the father of Ir-Nahash.
These were the men of Rechah.
13 The sons of Kenaz were Othniel
and Seraiah. The sons of Othniel were Hathath,[q] 14 and
Meonothai who begot Ophrah. Seraiah begot Joab the father of
Ge Harashim,[r] for they were
craftsmen. 15 The sons of Caleb the son of
Jephunneh were Iru, Elah, and Naam. The son of Elah was Kenaz. 16 The
sons of Jehallelel were Ziph, Ziphah, Tiria, and Asarel. 17 The
sons of Ezrah were Jether, Mered, Epher, and Jalon. And Mered’s
wife[s] bore Miriam, Shammai,
and Ishbah the father of Eshtemoa. 18 (His wife
Jehudijah[t] bore Jered the father
of Gedor, Heber the father of Sochoh, and Jekuthiel the father of Zanoah.) And
these were the sons of Bithiah the daughter of Pharaoh, whom Mered took.
19 The sons of Hodiah’s wife, the
sister of Naham, were the fathers of Keilah the Garmite and of
Eshtemoa the Maachathite. 20 And the sons of
Shimon were Amnon, Rinnah, Ben-Hanan, and Tilon. And the sons
of Ishi were Zoheth and Ben-Zoheth.
21 The sons of Shelah the son of
Judah were Er the father of Lecah, Laadah the father of
Mareshah, and the families of the house of the linen workers of the house of
Ashbea; 22 also Jokim, the men of Chozeba, and
Joash; Saraph, who ruled in Moab, and Jashubi-Lehem. Now the records are
ancient. 23 These were the potters
and those who dwell at Netaim[u] and Gederah;[v] there they dwelt with
the king for his work.
The Family of Simeon
24 The sons of Simeon were Nemuel,
Jamin, Jarib,[w] Zerah,[x] and Shaul, 25 Shallum
his son, Mibsam his son, and Mishma his son. 26 And
the sons of Mishma were Hamuel his son, Zacchur his son, and
Shimei his son. 27 Shimei had sixteen sons and six
daughters; but his brothers did not have many children, nor did any of their
families multiply as much as the children of Judah.
28 They dwelt at Beersheba, Moladah,
Hazar Shual, 29 Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad, 30 Bethuel,
Hormah, Ziklag, 31 Beth Marcaboth, Hazar Susim,
Beth Biri, and at Shaaraim. These were their cities until the
reign of David. 32 And their villages were Etam,
Ain, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan—five cities— 33 and
all the villages that were around these cities as far as Baal.[y] These were their
dwelling places, and they maintained their genealogy: 34 Meshobab,
Jamlech, and Joshah the son of Amaziah; 35 Joel,
and Jehu the son of Joshibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of Asiel; 36 Elioenai,
Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, and Benaiah; 37 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 were leaders
in their families, and their father’s house increased greatly.
39 So they went to the entrance of
Gedor, as far as the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their
flocks. 40 And they found rich, good pasture, and
the land was broad, quiet, and peaceful; for some Hamites
formerly lived there.
41 These recorded by name came in the
days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and they attacked their tents and the Meunites
who were found there, and utterly destroyed them, as it is to this day. So they
dwelt in their place, because there was pasture for their
flocks there. 42 Now some of them,
five hundred men of the sons of Simeon, went to Mount Seir, having as their
captains Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi. 43 And
they defeated the rest of the Amalekites who had escaped. They have dwelt there
to this day.
The Family of Reuben
5 Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of
Israel—he was indeed the firstborn, but because he defiled his
father’s bed, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph, the son of
Israel, so that the genealogy is not listed according to the birthright; 2 yet
Judah prevailed over his brothers, and from him came a ruler,
although the birthright was Joseph’s— 3 the sons of
Reuben the firstborn of Israel were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4 The sons of Joel were Shemaiah
his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son, 5 Micah his
son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son, 6 and Beerah his
son, whom Tiglath-Pileser[z] king of Assyria
carried into captivity. He was leader of the Reubenites. 7 And
his brethren by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was
registered: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah, 8 and
Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt in Aroer, as
far as Nebo and Baal Meon. 9 Eastward they settled
as far as the entrance of the wilderness this side of the River Euphrates,
because their cattle had multiplied in the land of Gilead.
10 Now in the days of Saul they made
war with the Hagrites, who fell by their hand; and they dwelt in their tents
throughout the entire area east of Gilead.
The Family of Gad
11 And the children of Gad dwelt next
to them in the land of Bashan as far as Salcah: 12 Joel was the
chief, Shapham the next, then Jaanai and Shaphat in Bashan, 13 and
their brethren of their father’s house: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai,
Jachan, Zia, and Eber—seven in all. 14 These were the
children of Abihail the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the
son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz; 15 Ahi
the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was chief of their
father’s house. 16 And the Gadites dwelt
in Gilead, in Bashan and in its villages, and in all the common-lands of Sharon
within their borders. 17 All these were registered
by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam
king of Israel.
18 The sons of Reuben, the Gadites,
and half the tribe of Manasseh had forty-four thousand seven
hundred and sixty valiant men, men able to bear shield and sword, to shoot with
the bow, and skillful in war, who went to war. 19 They
made war with the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab. 20 And
they were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand,
and all who were with them, for they cried out to God in the
battle. He heeded their prayer, because they put their trust in Him. 21 Then
they took away their livestock—fifty thousand of their camels, two hundred and
fifty thousand of their sheep, and two thousand of their donkeys—also one
hundred thousand of their men; 22 for many fell
dead, because the war was God’s. And they dwelt in their place
until the captivity.
The Family of Manasseh (East)
23 So the children of the half-tribe
of Manasseh dwelt in the land. Their numbers increased from
Bashan to Baal Hermon, that is, to Senir, or Mount Hermon. 24 These were the
heads of their fathers’ houses: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah,
and Jahdiel. They were mighty men of valor, famous men, and heads
of their fathers’ houses.
25 And they were unfaithful to the
God of their fathers, and played the harlot after the gods of the peoples of
the land, whom God had destroyed before them. 26 So
the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, that is,
Tiglath-Pileser[aa] king of Assyria. He
carried the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh into
captivity. He took them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan to this
day.
