In the book of 1 Chronicles, chapters 7-8, many families are noted in sheer numbers. And the numbers are named in troops. 22,600 here and 36,000 there.
In chapter 7, verse 20, the sons of Ephraim are named. Unfortunately, they are killed by natives of the land. Their father mourned, and relatives came to comfort him. His wife then conceived of another son named Beriah, whose name means misfortune. His birth came about by tragedy. But tragedy was not what his life led. Beriah had a daughter, who built three great cities: lower and upper Beth-horon and Uzzen-sheerah.
