1 Chronicles 3-4New 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

his son, 14 Amon his son, and Josiah

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

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

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.
