1 Chronicles 8:13

11 He also had sons by Hushim: Abitub and Elpaal.

12 The sons of Elpaal: Eber, Misham, Shemed (who built Ono and Lod with its villages),

and Beriah and Shema (who were the heads of families of the inhabitants of Aijalon and who drove out the inhabitants of Gath).

14 Ahio, Shashak, Jeremoth,

15 Zebadiah, Arad, Eder,
