Tie dzīvoja Gebā, līdz viņus aizveda trimdā uz Mānahatu. 7 Naamāns, Ahija un Gēra, viņš tos vadīja ceļā. Viņš bija tēvs Uzam un Ahīhudam. 8 Šaharaimam Moāba zemē pēc tam, kad viņš bija aizraidījis savas sievas Hūšīmu un Baāru, dzima pēcnācēji. 9 Viņa sieva Hodeša dzemdēja Jobābu, Cibju, Mēšu, Malkomu, 10 Jeūcu, Sāhaju un Mirmu, šie ir viņa dēli, tēvu namu galvenie. 11 Arī Hušīma viņam dzemdēja Abītūvu un Elpaalu. 12 Elpaala dēli: Ēbers, Mišāms, Šemeds, kurš uzcēla Ono, Lodu un to ciemus. 13 Berīa un Šema bija tēvu namu galvenie, Ajalonas iedzīvotāji, kas padzina Gatas iedzīvotājus. 14 Ahjo, Šāšaks, Jeremots, 15 Zebadja, Arāds, Ēders, 16 Mihaēls, Jišpa un Joha ir Berīas dēli. 17 Un Zebadja, Mešullāms, Hizkija, Hebers, 18 Jišmerajs, Jizlia un Jobābs ir Elpaala dēli. 19 Jākīms, Zihrī, Zabdī, 20 Elīēnajs, Cilletajs, Elīēls, 21 Adāja, Brāja un Šimrāts ir Šimī dēli. 22 Jišpāns, Ēbers, Elīēls, 23 Abdons, Zihrī, Hānāns, 24 Hananja, Ēlāms, Anatotija, 25 Jifedja un Penuēls ir Šāšaka dēli. 26 Šamšerajs, Šeharja, Atalja, 27 Jaarešja, Elija un Zihrī ir Jerohāma dēli. 28 Tie savā paaudzē bija tēvu namu galvenie un vadoņi un dzīvoja Jeruzālemē.
