[10] And Jeuz, and Shachia, and Mirma. These were his sons, heads of the fathers.

[11] And of Hushim he begat Abitub, and Elpaal.

[12] The sons of Elpaal; Eber, and Misham, and Shamed, who built Ono, and Lod, with the towns thereof:

[35] And the sons of Micah were, Pithon, and Melech, and Tarea, and Ahaz.

[36] And Ahaz begat Jehoadah; and Jehoadah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza,

[37] And Moza begat Binea: Rapha was his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son:

[38] And Azel had six sons, whose names are these, Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan. All these were the sons of Azel.
