1 Chronicles 2:1–12
1These were the sons of Israel: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, 2Dan, Joseph, Benjamin, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. 3The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, and Shelah. These three were born to him by Bath-shua the Canaanite. Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD, who put him to death. 4Tamar, Judah’s daughter-in-law, bore to him Perez and Zerah. Judah had five sons in all. 5The sons of Perez: Hezron and Hamul. 6The sons of Zerah: Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Calcol, and Dara —five in all. 7The son of Carmi: Achar, who brought trouble upon Israel by violating the ban on devoted things. 8The son of Ethan: Azariah. 9The sons who were born to Hezron: Jerahmeel, Ram, and Caleb. 10Ram was the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab was the father of Nahshon, a leader of the descendants of Judah. 11Nahshon was the father of Salmon, and Salmon was the father of Boaz. 12Boaz was the father of Obed, and Obed was the father of Jesse.
