RF CH1 4:1 The sons of Judah. Ferez; Hazron; and Karmi; and Shobal;

RF CH1 4:10 The "Ruffian," however, relied on the GOD of Israel and said. "If You bless me, and extend my border, and Your hand goes with me,—and You keep me from harm,—I shall not be ruffled." And GOD granted what he asked.
—————
3 NOTE: Ch. 4, v. 9. "Jabez." "Jabetz." "Ruffian"? He evidently was a rough, wild lad.—F.F.
RF CH1 4:11 And Kelub, the brother of Shukhah begot Maklur; he was the father of Ashton.
RF CH1 4:12 And Ashton founded the House of Rafa, and Fasah, and Thekniah, the founder of the city of Naksh. Those are the men of Rekah.
RF CH1 4:13 And the Beni Kenan were, Athnial, and Sheriah, and of the Lower Athnial.
RF CH1 4:14 And from Aunothi were begotten Aferah; and Seriah, begot Joab, the founder of the lower Kharoshim: for they are the Kharoshim.
RF CH1 4:15 And the sons of Kaleb-ben-Jafuneh; were,—Airu, Alah, and Nam. And the sons of Alah were, Alah and Kenez.

RF CH1 4:21 The sons of Shilah were Ben-Jhodad; Ar, the founder of Likah; and Ladah, the founder of Marshab; and the clans of the houses of Bethabelath,—the splendid House of Ashba,
RF CH1 4:22 and the Jokim, and the Princes of Kozna, and Joask, and Saraf, who were Masters in Moab, and resided in Lakhem, according to old records.
RF CH1 4:23 They were Mechanists and settled in Colonies and Municipalities. They settled there to work for the king.
RF CH1 4:24 The sons of Shimeon, Nemual, and Jamin, Jarib, Zarakh, Shaul.
RF CH1 4:25 His son Shalim; his son Mibsham; his son Mishma.
RF CH1 4:26 And the sons of Mishma, were Khamwal; his son of Zaker, his son Shamai;
RF CH1 4:27 band Shamai had sixteen sons, and six daughters, but his brother had not many sons, nor did the whole family increase like the sons of Judah.
RF CH1 4:28 But they occupied Barsheba, and Moladah, and Khatzar-Shual,
RF CH1 4:29 and Bilahah, and Atzam, and Tholad,
RF CH1 4:30 and Bathnal, and Kharmah, and Ziklag;
RF CH1 4:31 and Beth-Markaboth, and Khatzer, and Susini, and Beth-Birai, and Sharam;—These were their Cities until the reign of David.
RF CH1 4:32 And their towns were Aitam, and Ain-rimon, and Thokom, and Ashan;—five towns,
RF CH1 4:33 and all the villages around the cities, whom they controlled, with their title-deeds from the family registers, and records of restored estates,1 and successions, and property of eldest sons;
RF CH1 4:34 ...
RF CH1 4:35 who were, Joal, and Jhoa-ben-Joshibiah,—ben-Seriah-ben-Ashial;
RF CH1 4:36 and Aliwani and Jakbah, and Ishokhiah, and Asiah, and Adial, and Isimal, and Beniah;
RF CH1 4:37 and Ziza,-ben-Shifai-ben-Alon-ben-Judiah-ben-Shimri-ben-Shamiah;
RF CH1 4:38 These became Princes by name, in their clans, and extended the houses of their ancestors,—
RF CH1 4:39 when they emigrated to Gheder in the eastern plain, to seek pasture for their flocks,
RF CH1 4:40 and found rich and good pasture and a wide country ready for them, and quiet and peaceable, for the previous inhabitants there were Blacks.2
RF CH1 4:41 So those mentioned by name, above, advanced in the days of Hezekiah King of Judah, and attacked their tents, and the wells that they found there, and succeeded them until this day, and settled in their place,—for there was pasture for their flocks.
RF CH1 4:42 Some of the descendants of Simeon, five hundred men, went from them to Mount Sair, with Flatiah, and Nariah, and Refiah, and Azial,-ben-Ishai was at their head,
RF CH1 4:43 and attacked the remnant of the refugees of the Amalachites;—and they reside there to this day.

1 NOTE: Ch. 4, v. 33, I think confirms my view that these lists are a heterogeneous mass of enquiries by Ezra in endeavouring to ascertain and settle the claims of the returned Transports from Babel to the lands of their ancestors. See general note at the beginning of Ch. 1.—F.F.
2 NOTE: Ch. 4, v. 30. "Negroes." This short historical note is of importance in an ethnological point of view, and illustrates the value of the Scriptural records to the student of human history, as compared with the ethnological blindness of the Pagan Writers.
