The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs 43
Judah 8
The speaker had much cattle and appointed Iran the Adullamite as the chief of his herdsmen.
1oreover, I had much cattle, and I had for the chief of my herdsmen Iran the Adullamite.
2 And when I went to him I saw Barsan, king of Adullam, and he made us a feast; and he entreated me, and gave me his daughter Bathshua to wife.
3 She bare me Er, and Onan, and Shelah; and the two of them the Lord smote that they died childless: for Shelah lived, and his children are ye.
