## 1 Chronicles 7 (Catholic Public Domain Version)

1. Now the sons of Issachar were Tola and Puah, Jashub and Shimron, four.
2. The sons of Tola: Uzzi, and Rephaiah, and Jeriel, and Jahmai, and Ibsam, and Shemuel, leaders according to the houses of their kindred. From the stock of Tola, there were numbered, in the days of David, twenty-two thousand six hundred very strong men.
3. The sons of Uzzi: Izrahiah, from whom were born: Michael, and Obadiah, and Joel, and Isshiah; all five were leaders.
4. And with them, by their families and peoples, there were thirty-six thousand very strong men, girded for battle. And they had many wives and children.
5. Also, their brothers, throughout all the kindred of Issachar, were numbered as eighty-seven thousand, very fit for battle.
6. The sons of Benjamin: Bela, and Becher, and Jediael, three.
7. The sons of Bela: Ezbon, and Uzzi, and Uzziel, and Jerimoth and Iri, five leaders of families, also very fit for battle; and their number was twenty-two thousand thirty-four.
8. Now the sons of Becher: Zemirah, and Joash, and Eliezer, and Elioenai, and Omri, and Jeremoth, and Abijah, and Anathoth, and Alemeth: all these were sons of Becher.
9. And they were numbered according to their families, by the leaders of their kindred, very strong in warfare, twenty thousand and two hundred.
10. And the sons of Jediael: Bilhan, and the sons of Bilhan: Jeush, and Benjamin, and Ehud, and Chenaanah, and Zethan, and Tarshish, and Ahishahar.
11. All these were sons of Jediael, the leaders of their kindred, very strong men, seventeen thousand and two hundred, going forth to battle.
12. Also, Shuppim and Huppim, the sons of Ir; and Hushim, sons of Aher.
13. Then the sons of Naphtali: Jahziel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shallum, sons of Bilhah.
14. Also, the son of Manasseh: Asriel. And his concubine, a Syrian, bore Machir, the father of Gilead.
15. Now Machir took wives for his sons, Huppim and Shuppim. And he had a sister named Maacah; but the name of the second was Zelophehad, and daughters were born to Zelophehad.
16. And Maacah, the wife of Machir, bore a son, and she called his name Peresh. And the name of his brother was Sheresh. And his sons were Ulam and Rakem.

21. and his son was Shuthelah, and his son was Ezer, and also Elead. But the men indigenous to Gath killed them, because they had descended to invade their possessions.
22. And so their father, Ephraim, mourned for many days; and his brothers arrived, so that they might console him.
23. And he entered to his wife; she conceived and bore a son. And he called his name Beriah, because he rose up during a time of evil for his house.
24. Now his daughter was Sheerah, who built lower and upper Beth-horon, and also Uzzen-sheerah.
25. And Rephah was his son, and Resheph, and Telah, from whom was born Tahan,
26. who conceived Ladan. And his son was Ammihud, who conceived Elishama,
27. from whom was born Nun, who had Joshua as a son.
28. Now their possessions and habitations were: Bethel with her daughters, and toward the east, Naaran, and toward the western region, Gezer and her daughters, as well as Shechem with her daughters, as far as Ayyah with her daughters;
29. also, beside the sons of Manasseh, Bethshean and her daughters, Taanach and her daughters, Megiddo and her daughters, Dor and her daughters. In these places, there lived the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel.
30. The sons of Asher: Imnah, and Ishvah, and Ishvi, and Beriah, and Serah their sister.
31. And the sons of Beriah: Heber, and Malchiel, the same is the father of Birzaith.
32. Now Heber conceived Japhlet, and Shomer, and Hotham, and their sister Shua.
