Lyrics

Of the sons of Issachar Tola, Puah, Jashub, and Shimron, four

The sons of Tola Uzzi, Rephaiah, Jeriel, Jahmai, Ibsam, and Shemuel Heads of their fathers’ houses Mighty men of valour in their generations Twenty-two thousand and six hundred In the days of David

The sons of Benjamin Bela, Becher, and Jediael, three The sons of Bela Ezbon, Uzzi, Uzziel, Jerimoth, and Iri, five Twenty-two thousand and thirty-four Heads of fathers’ houses, mighty men of valour

The sons of Becher Zemirah, Joash, Eliezer, Elioenai, Omri Jeremoth, Abijah, Anathoth, and Alemeth Twenty thousand and two hundred

The tribes assembled The mighty men counted Their numbers vast Their valour complete

The sons of Naphtali Jahziel, Guni, Jezer, Shallum The sons of Manasseh Asriel, whom his concubine the Aramitess bore Machir the father of Gilead The daughters of Zelophehad

The sons of Ephraim Shuthelah, Bered his son Tahath, Eleadah, Tahath Zabad, Shuthelah, Ezer, and Elead Whom the men of Gath who were born in the land killed The settlements were Bethel and its towns

The sons of Asher Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, and Beriah Serah was their sister The sons of Beriah Heber and Malchiel All these were the children of Asher Heads of the fathers’ houses

The northern tribes The mighty assembled Twenty-six thousand men The inheritance holds
