3. And the sons of Bela were: Addar, and Gera, and Abihud,

7. And Naaman, and Ahijah, and Gera, he also moved them away; and he conceived Uzza and Ahihud.
8. Then Shaharaim conceived, in the region of Moab, after he sent away Hushim and Baara, his wives;
9. and so, of his wife Hodesh, he conceived Jobab, and Zibia, and Mesha, and Malcam,

11. Truly, of Hushim he conceived Abitub and Elpaal.
12. And the sons of Elpaal were Eber, and Misham, and Shemed, who built Ono and Lod and its daughters.

29. Now in Gibeon, there lived Jeiel, the father of Gibeon; and the name of his wife was Maacah,
30. and his firstborn son was Abdon, and then Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Nadab,
31. and Gedor, and Ahio, and Zecher, and Mikloth.
32. And Mikloth conceived Shimeah. And they lived opposite their brothers in Jerusalem, with their brothers.
33. Now Ner conceived Kish, and Kish conceived Saul. Then Saul conceived Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.
