33 Ner was the father of Cis, Cis of Saul; and Saul had four sons, Jonathan, Melchisua, Abinadab and Esbaal. 34 From Jonathan, through Meribbaal, came Micha, 35 who was father of Phithon, Melech, Tharaa and Ahaz; 36 from Ahaz Joada, who was father of Alamath, Azmoth and Zamri; from Zamri, through Mosa, 37 Banaa, Rapha and Elasa, Asel, 38 who had six sons, Ezricam, Bocru, Ismael, Saria, Obdia and Hanan. All these were Asel’s sons; 39 his brother, Esec, begot Ulam, Jehus, and Eliphalet. 40 The sons of Ulam were great warriors, with strong arms to bend the bow; and their sons and grandsons multiplied till there were a hundred and fifty of them. All these were of the race of Benjamin.

33 Ner autem genuit Cis, et Cis genuit Saul. Porro Saul genuit Jonathan, et Melchisua, et Abinadab, et Esbaal. 34 Filius autem Jonathan, Meribbaal: et Meribbaal genuit Micha. 35 Filii Micha, Phithon, et Melech, et Tharaa, et Ahaz. 36 Et Ahaz genuit Joada, et Joada genuit Alamath, et Azmoth, et Zamri: porro Zamri genuit Mosa, 37 et Mosa genuit Banaa, cujus filius fuit Rapha, de quo ortus est Elasa, qui genuit Asel. 38 Porro Asel sex filii fuerunt his nominibus: Ezricam, Bocru, Ismahel, Saria, Obdia, et Hanan: omnes hi filii Asel. 39 Filii autem Esec fratris ejus, Ulam primogenitus, et Jehus secundus, et Eliphalet tertius. 40 Fueruntque filii Ulam viri robustissimi, et magno robore tendentes arcum: et multos habentes filios ac nepotes, usque ad centum quinquaginta.

[1] The sense of verses 6-13 is by no means certain; the first three names in verse 7 may have been copied by error from verses 4 and 5 above. In verse 11, the Latin represents the words ‘by Husim’ as a single word, ‘Mehusim’.

[2] Semei should probably be identified with the Sama of verse 13.

[3] It is difficult to believe that all these clan chiefs resided in the city of Jerusalem; perhaps we should understand, here and in verse 32, that the Benjamites remained politically attached to Juda, when the kingdom was divided.
