1 Chronicles 4:21-23

Contemporary English Version

^21-22 Judah also had a son named Shelah, whose descendants included Jokim and the people of the town of Cozeba, as well as Er who settled the town of Lecah and Laadah who settled the town of Mareshah. The people who lived in Beth-Ashbea were also descendants of Shelah, and they were experts in weaving cloth. Shelah was the ancestor of Joash and Saraph, two men who married Moabite women and then settled near Bethlehem^[a]—but these family records are very old. ²³ The members of these clans were the potters who lived in the towns of Netaim and Gederah and worked for the king.
