30 And her first-born son was Abdon,

Makeloth begot Samaa: for these dwelt in Jerusalem in the presence of their
brethren with their brethren. 33 And
Ner begot Kis, and Kis begot Saul, and Saul begot Jonathan, and Melchisue, and

36 And Achaz begot Jada, and Jada
begot Salæmath, and Asmoth, and Zambri; and Zambri begot Mæsa;
37 and Mæsa begot Baana: Rhaphæa,
was his son, Elasa his son, Esel his son.
38 And Esel
had six sons, and these
were their names; Ezricam his first-born, and Ismael,
and Saraia, and Abdia, and Anan, and Asa: all these
were the sons of Esel.
39 And the sons of Asel his brother;
Ælam his first-born, and Jas the second, and Eliphalet the third.
40 And the sons of Ælam were mighty
men, bending the bow, and multiplying sons and grandsons, a hundred
and fifty. All these were of
the sons of Benjamin.
