Ok, more names. But not the kind of list you'd be picking baby names from -- Abitub, Hod, Elpaal. Thought they could be kind of useful in a Scrabble game.
But there is the occasional story that makes you think. Just a quick verse that God slips in just to tease you, I guess.
Ezer and Elead were killed by the native-born men of Gath, when they went down to seize their livestock. Their father Ephraim mourned for them many days, and his relatives came to comfort him. Then he lay with his wife again, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. He named him Beriah, because there had been misfortune in his family. His daughter was Sheerah, who built Lower and Upper Beth Horon as well as Uzzen Sheerah.
So, I'd like you to meet my friend here, Misfortune. So who is going to marry Misfortune? Thanks, Dad.
Then there's this incredible daughter who is responsible for building three towns? What? Hold on there. Tell me a little more about her. But, no, it's on to Rephah, Telah, Tahan, Laden, Ammihud and Elishama.
