1 Chronicles 5
- 1Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, for he was the firstborn. But since as he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to be counted after the birthright.
- 2For Judah became stronger than his brothers, and of him came the chief ruler. But the birthright was Joseph's:
- 3The sons, I say, of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were, Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
- 4The sons of Joel, Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
- 5Micah his son, Reaia his son, Baal his son,
- 6Beerah his son, who Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.
- 7And his brothers by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was counted, were the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,
- 8And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who lived in Aroer, even to Nebo and Baalmeon:
- 9And eastward he inhabited to the entrance to the wilderness from the river Euphrates. Because their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead.
- 10And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarites, who fell by their hand: and they lived in their tents throughout all the east land of Gilead.
- 11And the children of Gad lived over against them, in the land of Bashan to Salcah:
- 12Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat in Bashan.
- 13And their brothers of the house of their fathers were, Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan, and Zia, and Heber, seven.
- 14These are the children of Abihail the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz.
- 15Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the house of their fathers.
- 16And they lived in Gilead in Bashan, and in her towns, and in all the pasturelands of Sharon, on their borders.
- 17All these were counted by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.
- 18The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, of brave men, men able to bear shield and sword, and to shoot with bow, and skillful in war, were four and forty thousand seven hundred and sixty, that went out to the war.
- 19And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Nephish, and Nodab.
- 20And they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered into their hand, and all that were with them. For they cried to God in the battle, and he granted their plea. Because they put their trust in him.
- 21And they took away their cattle, of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and of donkeys two thousand, and of men a hundred thousand.
- 22For there fell down many killed, because the war was of God. And they lived in their place until the captivity.
- 23And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh lived in the land: they increased from Bashan to Baalhermon and Senir, and to mount Hermon.
- 24And these were the heads of the house of their fathers, even Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, brave warriors, famous men, and heads of the house of their fathers.
- 25And they rebelled against the God of their fathers, and chased after the gods of the people of the land, who God destroyed before them.
- 26And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, to this day.
