⁵The sons of Perez: Hezron and Hamul.⁶The sons of Zerah: Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Calcol, and Dara, five in all.⁷The son of Carmi: Achan, the troubler of Israel, who broke faith in the matter of the devoted thing;⁸and Ethan's son was Azariah.

⁹The sons of Hezron that were born to him: Jerahmeel, Ram, and Chelubai.¹⁰Ram fathered Amminadab, and Amminadab fathered Nahshon, prince of the sons of Judah.¹¹Nahshon fathered Salmon, Salmon fathered Boaz,¹²Boaz fathered Obed, Obed fathered Jesse.¹³Jesse fathered Eliab his firstborn, Abinadab the second, Shimea the third,¹⁴Nethanel the fourth, Raddai the fifth,¹⁵Ozem the sixth, David the seventh.¹⁶And their sisters were Zeruiah and Abigail.

²¹Afterward Hezron went in to the daughter of Machir the father of Gilead, whom he married when he was sixty years old, and she bore him Segub.²²And Segub fathered Jair, who had twenty-three cities in the land of Gilead.²³But Geshur and Aram took from them Havvoth-jair, Kenath, and its villages, sixty towns.
