6 Benjamin had three sons: Bela, Beker, and Jediael. 7 Bela had five: Ezbon, Uzzi, Uzziel, Jerimoth, and Iri, all of them chiefs and warriors. They counted 22,034 names in their family tree. 8 Beker's sons were Zemirah, Joash, Eliezer, Elioenai, Omri, Jeremoth, Abijah, Anathoth, and Alemeth. 9 Through these chiefs their family tree listed 20,200 warriors. 10 Jediael's son was Bilhan and the sons of Bilhan were Jeush, Benjamin, Ehud, Kenaanah, Zethan, Tarshish, and Ahishahar 11 - all sons of Jediael and family chiefs; they counted 17,200 combat-ready warriors. 12 Shuppim and Huppim were the sons of Ir; Hushim were from the family of Aher.
