2And the sons of Thola; Ozi, Raphaia, and Jeriel, and Jamai, and Jemasan, and Samuel, chiefs of their fathers' houses belonging to Thola, men of might according to their generations; their number in the days of David was twenty and two thousand and six hundred.Καὶ υἱοὶ Θωλὰ, Ὀζὶ, Ῥαφαΐα, καὶ ʼΙεριὴλ, καὶ ʼΙαμαῒ, καὶ ʼΙεμασὰν, καὶ Σαμουὴλ, ἄρχοντες οἴκων πατριῶν αὐτῶν τῷ Θωλὰ, ἰσχυροὶ δυνάμει κατὰ γενέσεις αὐτῶν, ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτῶν ἐν ἡμέραις Δαυὶδ, εἴκοσι καὶ δύο χιλιάδες καὶ ἑξακόσιοι.

3And the sons of Ozi; Jezraia: and the sons of Jezraia; Michael, Abdiu, and Joel, and Jesia, five, all rulers.Καὶ υἱοὶ ʼΟζὶ, ʼΙεζραῒα· καὶ υἱοὶ ʼΙεζραΐ, Μιχαὴλ, ʼΑβδιοὺ, καὶ ʼΙωὴλ, καὶ ʼΙεσία, πέντε, ἄρχοντες πάντες.

4And with them, according to their generations, according to the houses of their families, were men mighty to set armies in array for war, thirty and six thousand, for they had multiplied their wives and children.Καὶ ἐπʼ αὐτῶν, κατὰ γενέσεις αὐτῶν, κατʼ οἴκους πατριῶν αὐτῶν, ἰσχυροὶ παρατάξασθαι εἰς πόλεμον, τριάκοντα καὶ ἓξ χιλιάδες, ὅτι ἐπλήθυναν γυναῖκας καὶ υἱούς.

5And their brethren among all the families of Issachar, also mighty men, were eighty-seven thousand—this was the number of them all.Καὶ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν εἰς πάσας πατριὰς Ἰσσάχαρ, καὶ ἰσχυροὶ δυνάμει, ὀγδοήκοντα καὶ ἑπτὰ χιλιάδες, ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτῶν τῶν πάντων.

9And their number according to their generations, (they were chiefs of their fathers' houses, men of might), was twenty thousand and two hundred.Καὶ ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτῶν κατὰ γενέσεις αὐτῶν, ἄρχοντες οἴκων πατριῶν αὐτῶν ἰσχυροὶ δυνάμει, εἴκοσι χιλιάδες καὶ διακόσιοι.

21and Zabad his son, Sothele his son, and Azer, and Elead: and the men of Geth who were born in the land killed them, because they went down to take their cattle.καὶ Ζαβὰδ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ, Σωθελὲ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ʼΑζὲρ, καὶ ʼΕλεάδ· καὶ ἀπέκτειναν αὐτοὺς οἱ ἄνδρες Γὲθ οἱ τεχθέντες ἐν τῇ γῇ, ὅτι κατέβησαν τοῦ λαβεῖν τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν.

22And their father Ephraim mourned many days, and his brethren came to comfort him.Καὶ ἐπένθησεν Ἐφραὶμ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτῶν ἡμέρας πολλάς· καὶ ἦλθον ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ τοῦ παρακαλέσαι αὐτόν.

23And he went in to his wife, and she conceived, and bore a son, and he called his name Beria, because, said he, he was afflicted in my house.Καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔλαβεν ἐν γαστρὶ, καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱόν· καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Βεριὰ, ὅτι ἐν κακοῖς ἐγένετο ἐν οἴκῳ μου.
