6These were the sons of Aod: these are the heads of families to them that dwell in Gabee, and they removed them to Machanathi:Οὗτοι υἱοὶ Ἀὼδ, οὗτοί εἰσιν ἄρχοντες πατριῶν τοῖς κατοικοῦσι Γαβεέ· καὶ μετῴκισαν αὐτοὺς εἰς Μαχαναθὶ,

7and Nooma, and Achia and Gera, he removed them, and he begot Aza, and Jachicho.καὶ Νοομὰ, καὶ Ἀχιὰ, καὶ Γηρά· οὗτος ἰεγλαὰμ, καὶ ἐγέννησε τὸν ʼΑζὰ, καὶ τὸν Ἰαχιχώ.

40And the sons of Aelam were mighty men, bending the bow, and multiplying sons and grandsons, one hundred and fifty. All these were of the sons of Benjamin.Καὶ ἦσαν υἱοὶ Αἰλὰμ ἰσχυροὶ ἄνδρες δυνάμει, τείνοντες τόξον, καὶ πληθύνοντες υἱοὺς καὶ υἱοὺς τῶν υἱῶν, ἑκατὸν πεντήκοντα· πάντες οὗτοι ἐξ υἱῶν Βενιαμίν.
