These men and their families lived in the town of Recah. 13 Kenaz was the father of Othniel and Seraiah. Othniel had two sons: Hathath and Meonothai, 14 who was the father of Ophrah. Seraiah was the father of Joab, who settled a place called "Valley of Crafts" because the people who lived there were experts in making things. 15 Caleb son of Jephunneh had three sons: Iru, Elah, and Naam. Elah was the father of Kenaz. 16 Jehallelel was the father of Ziph, Ziphah, Tiria, and Asarel. 17Ezrah was the father of Jether, Mered, Epher, and Jalon. Mered was married to Bithiah the daughter of the king of Egypt. They had a daughter named Miriam and two sons: Shammai and Ishbah. It was Ishbah who settled the town of Eshtemoa. Mered was also married to a woman from the tribe of Judah, and their sons were Jered, Heber, and Jekuthiel. Jered settled the town of Gedor; Heber settled the town of Soco; and Jekuthiel settled the town of Zanoah. 19 A man named Hodiah was married to the sister of Naham.
