1 Chronicles 1:17-27
1599 Geneva Bible
17 ¶ (A)The sons of Shem were Elam and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and [a]Aram, and Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Meshech.
18 Also Arphaxad begat Shelah, and Shelah begat [b]Eber.
19 Unto Eber also were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg: for in his days was the earth divided, and his brother’s name was Joktan.
20 Then Joktan begat Almodad and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth and Jerah,
21 And Hadoram, and Uzal and Diklah,
22 And Ebal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
23 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.
24 [c]Shem, [d]Arphaxad, Shelah,
25 Eber, Peleg, Reu,
26 Serug, Nahor, Terah,
27 (B)Abram, which is Abraham.
