1The sons of Issachar [were] Tola, Puah, Jashub, and Shimron -- four [in all.] 2The sons of Tola [were] Uzzi, Rephaiah, Jeriel, Jahmai, Jibsam, and Shemuel, heads of their father's house. [The sons] of Tola [were] mighty men of valor in their generations; their number in the days of David [was] twenty-two thousand six hundred. 3The son of Uzzi [was] Izrahiah, and the sons of Izrahiah [were] Michael, Obadiah, Joel, and Ishiah. All five of them [were] chief men. 4And with them, by their generations, according to their fathers' houses, [were] thirty-six thousand troops ready for war; for they had many wives and sons. 5Now their brethren among all the families of Issachar [were] mighty men of valor, listed by their genealogies, eighty-seven thousand in all. 6[The sons] of Benjamin [were] Bela, Becher, and Jediael -- three [in all.] 7The sons of Bela were Ezbon, Uzzi, Uzziel, Jerimoth, and Iri -- five [in all.] They [were] heads of [their] fathers' houses, and they were listed by their genealogies, twenty-two thousand and thirty-four mighty men of valor. 8The sons of Becher [were] Zemirah, Joash, Eliezer, Elioenai, Omri, Jerimoth, Abijah, Anathoth, and Alemeth. All these [are] the sons of Becher. 9And they were recorded by genealogy according to their generations, heads of their fathers' houses, twenty thousand two hundred mighty men of valor. 10The son of Jediael [was] Bilhan, and the sons of Bilhan [were] Jeush, Benjamin, Ehud, Chenaanah, Zethan, Tharshish, and Ahishahar. 11All these sons of Jediael [were] heads of their fathers' houses; [there were] seventeen thousand two hundred mighty men of valor fit to go out for war [and] battle. 12Shuppim and Huppim [were] the sons of Ir, [and] Hushim [was] the son of Aher. 13The sons of Naphtali [were] Jahziel, Guni, Jezer, and Shallum, the sons of Bilhah. 14The descendants of Manasseh: his Syrian concubine bore him Machir the father of Gilead, the father of Asriel. 15Machir took as his wife [the sister] of Huppim and Shuppim, whose name [was] Maachah. The name of [Gilead's] grandson [was] Zelophehad, but Zelophehad begot only daughters. 16(Maachah the wife of Machir bore a son, and she called his name Peresh. The name of his brother [was] Sheresh, and his sons [were] Ulam and Rakem. 17The son of Ulam [was] Bedan.) These [were] the descendants of Gilead the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh. 18His sister Hammoleketh bore Ishhod, Abiezer, and Mahlah. 19And the sons of Shemida were Ahian, Shechem, Likhi, and Aniam. 20The sons of Ephraim [were] Shuthelah, Bered his son, Tahath his son, Eladah his son, Tahath his son, 21Zabad his son, Shuthelah his son, and Ezer and Elead. The men of Gath who were born in [that] land killed [them] because they came down to take away their cattle. 22Then Ephraim their father mourned many days, and his brethren came to comfort him. 23And when he went in to his wife, she conceived and bore a son; and he called his name Beriah, because tragedy had come upon his house. 24Now his daughter [was] Sheerah, who built Lower and Upper Beth Horon and Uzzen Sheerah; 25and Rephah [was] his son, [as well] as Resheph, and Telah his son, Tahan his son, 26Laadan his son, Ammihud his son, Elishama his son, 27Nun his son, and Joshua his son. 28Now their possessions and dwelling places [were] Bethel and its towns: to the east Naaran, to the west Gezer and its towns, and Shechem and its towns, as far as Ayyah and its towns; 29and by the borders of the children of Manasseh [were] Beth Shean and its towns, Taanach and its towns, Megiddo and its towns, Dor and its towns. In these dwelt the children of Joseph, the son of Israel. 30The sons of Asher [were] Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and their sister Serah. 31The sons of Beriah [were] Heber and Malchiel, who was the father of Birzaith. 32And Heber begot Japhlet, Shomer, Hotham, and their sister Shua. 33The sons of Japhlet [were] Pasach, Bimhal, and Ashvath.
