1 Los siguientes son los descendientes de Judá: Fares, Jezrón, Carmí, Jur y Sobal. 2 Reaías hijo de Sobal, fue padre de Yajat, quien a su vez fue padre de Ajumay y Lajad. Estos fueron miembros del clan de los zoratitas. 3 Los descendientes de Etam fueron: Jezrel, Ismá e Ibdás, una hija llamada Jazelelponi, Penuel, padre de Guedor, y Ezer, padre de Jusá. Estos fueron hijos de Jur, hijo mayor de Efrata, y padre de Belén. 5 Asur, padre de Tecoa, tuvo dos esposas, Helá y Nara. 6 Nara le dio a luz a Ajusán, Héfer, Temeni y Ajastarí. Así que estos fueron los hijos de Nara. 7 Helá le dio a luz a Zéret, Yezojar y Etnán. 8 Cos fue el padre de Anub y Zobebá, así como de las familias de Ajarjel hijo de Harún. 9 Jabés tenía más prestigio que cualquiera de sus hermanos. Su madre lo llamó Jabés (Angustia) debido al gran dolor que tuvo al darlo a luz. 10 Fue el mismo que oró al Dios de Israel diciendo: «¡Te ruego que me bendigas más todavía. Que ensanches mis fronteras y que estés conmigo para librarme del mal y que nadie me dañe!». Y Dios le concedió su ruego. 11 Los descendientes de Reca fueron: Quelub, hermano de Sujá y padre de Mejir, quien fue el padre de Estón; Estón fue el padre de Bet Rafá, de Paseaj y de Tejiná; Tejiná fue padre de Ir Najás. 13 Los hijos de Quenaz fueron Otoniel y Seraías. Los hijos de Otoniel fueron Jatat y Meonotay; 14 Meonotay fue el padre de Ofra; Seraías fue el padre de Joab. Joab fue el progenitor de los habitantes del valle de Carisín, o valle de los artesanos. (Se le daba este nombre porque allí vivían muchos artesanos). 15 Los hijos de Caleb, el cual era el hijo de Jefone, fueron Ir, Elá y Noán. Entre los hijos de Elá se incluye a Quenaz. 16 Los hijos de Yalelel fueron: Zif, Zifá, Tirías y Asarel. 17 Los hijos de Esdras fueron: Jéter, Méred, Éfer y Jalón. Méred contrajo matrimonio con una princesa egipcia llamada Bitiá. Esta fue la madre de Miriam, Samay e Isba, antepasado de Estemoa. 18 La otra mujer de Estemoa era judía, y con ella tuvo a Jéred, a Héber y a Jecutiel. Jéred fue el padre de Guedor; Héber fue el padre de Soco, y Jecutiel fue el padre de Zanoa. 19 La esposa de Hodías era la hermana de Naján; uno de los hijos de ella fue Queilá, el garmita, y otro hijo suyo fue Estemoa, el macateo. 20 Los hijos de Simón fueron: Amnón, Riná, Ben Janán y Tilón. Los hijos de Isi fueron Zojet y Ben Zojet. 21 Los hijos de Selá hijo de Judá, fueron Er, padre de Lecá; Ladá, padre de Maresá y de las familias que trabajaban el lino en Bet Asbea. 22 Además, Joaquín, los clanes de Cozebá, Joás, y Saraf, que se casaron en Moab antes de volver a Belén. Todos estos nombres provienen de registros de la antigüedad. 23 Todos ellos eran alfareros que vivían en Netaín y Guederá, y prestaban sus servicios al rey. 24 Los descendientes de Simeón fueron: Nemuel, Jamín, Jarib, Zera, y Saúl. 25 El hijo de Saúl fue Salún, su nieto fue Mibsán y su bisnieto fue Mismá. 26 Entre los hijos de Mismá se incluye a Jamuel, padre de Zacur y abuelo de Simí. 27 Simí tuvo dieciséis hijos y seis hijas, pero ninguno de sus hermanos tuvo familia numerosa, sino que todos tuvieron menos hijos de los que tuvieron los hijos de Judá. 28 Vivían en las siguientes ciudades: Berseba, Moladá, Jazar Súal, 29 Bilhá, Esen, Tolad, 30 Betuel, Jormá, Siclag, 31 Bet Marcabot, Jazar Susín, Bet Biray, y Sajarayin. Estas ciudades estuvieron bajo el control de ellos hasta el tiempo del reinado de David. 32 Sus descendientes también vivían en pueblos tales como Etam, Ayin, Rimón, Toquén y Asán, o cerca de ellos. Algunos de estos pueblos se encontraban tan lejos como el de Baal. (Estos hechos están registrados en sus genealogías). 34 Estos son los nombres, de algunos príncipes de los clanes que poseían mayor riqueza, y que viajaron hacia el lado oriental del valle de Guedor buscando pasto para su ganado: Mesobab, Jamlec, Josías hijo de Amasías, Joel, Jehú hijo de Josibías, hijo de Seraías, hijo de Asiel; Elihoenay, Jacoba, Yesojaías, Asaías, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaías, Ziza hijo de Sifi, hijo de Alón, hijo de Jedaías, hijo de Simri, hijo de Semaías. 40 Allí en Guedor encontraron buenos pastizales, y vivieron muy tranquilos y a sus anchas. Allí habían vivido antes los descendientes de Cam. Todos estos príncipes llegaron a la región durante el gobierno del rey Ezequías, de Judá; invadieron la tierra, derribaron las carpas y las casas de los descendientes de Cam, mataron a los habitantes de esta tierra, tomaron posesión de ella y la ocuparon. 42 Después, quinientos de estos invasores, pertenecientes a la tribu de Simeón, fueron al monte de Seír. (Sus dirigentes eran Pelatías, Nearías, Refaías y Uziel, quienes eran hijos de Isí). 43 Allí destruyeron a los últimos sobrevivientes de la tribu de Amalec, y se quedaron viviendo en esa tierra definitivamente.
