Tamar, Judah's daughter-in-law, bore to him Perez and Zerah. Judah had five sons in all.

The sons of Perez: Hezron and Hamul.

The descendants of Judah: Perez, Hezron, Carmi, Hur, and Shobal.

The settlers included: Uthai son of Ammihud, son of Omri, son of Imri, son of Bani, who was a descendant of Perez son of Judah.

David was angry because the Lord attacked Uzzah; so he called that place Perez Uzzah, which remains its name to this very day.

He was a descendant of Perez; he was in charge of all the army officers for the first month.
