1 Chronicles 1:19-23

1:19 Two sons were born to Eber: the first was named Peleg, for during his lifetime the earth was divided; 1  his brother’s name was Joktan.

1:20 Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 1:21 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 1:22 Ebal, 2  Abimael, Sheba, 1:23 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.

1 sn Perhaps this refers to the scattering of the people at Babel (Gen 11:1-9).

2 tc Some medieval Hebrew mss and the Syriac read “Obal” (see Gen 10:28).
