1 Chronicles 4:38-40

Expanded Bible

The men in this list were leaders of their ·family groups [clans]: Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah son of Amaziah, Joel, Jehu son of Joshibiah (Joshibiah was the son of Seraiah, who was the son of Asiel), Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah, and Ziza. (Ziza was the son of Shiphi, who was the son of Allon. Allon was the son of Jedaiah, who was the son of Shimri. And Shimri was the son of Shemaiah.)

·These families [^LTheir father’s houses] grew very large. ³⁹ They went ·outside [to the entrance/outskirts of] the city of Gedor to the east side of the valley to look for pasture for their flocks. ⁴⁰ They found ·rich [fertile] and ·good [lush] pasture, and the land was ·open country [broad] and ·peaceful [undisturbed; untroubled] and quiet. Ham’s descendants had lived there ·in the past [formerly].
