Bible, King James Version
1_Chronicles
1Chr.5
[1] Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for
he was the firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father's
bed, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of
Israel: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the
birthright.
[2] For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him
came the chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph's:)
[3] The sons, I say, of Reuben the firstborn of Israel
were, Hannoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
[4] The sons of Joel; Shemaiah his son, Gog his son,
Shimei his son,
[5] Micah his son, Reaia his son, Baal his son,
[6] Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria
carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.
[7] And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy
of their generations was reckoned, were the chief, Jeiel, and
Zechariah,
[8] And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of
Joel, who dwelt in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baal-meon:
[9] And eastward he inhabited unto the entering in of the
wilderness from the river Euphrates: because their cattle were
multiplied in the land of Gilead.
[10] And in the days of Saul they made war with the
Hagarites, who fell by their hand: and they dwelt in their tents
throughout all the east land of Gilead.
[11] And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in
the land of Bashan unto Salchah:
[12] Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and
Shaphat in Bashan.
[13] And their brethren of the house of their fathers
were, Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan,
and Zia, and Heber, seven.
[14] These 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;
[15] Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the
house of their fathers.
[16] And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in her towns,
and in all the suburbs of Sharon, upon their borders.
[17] All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of
Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of
Israel.
[18] The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and half the
tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and
sword, and to shoot with bow, and skilful in war, were four and
forty thousand seven hundred and threescore, that went out to the
war.
[19] And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and
Nephish, and Nodab.
[20] And 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 was intreated of them;
because they put their trust in him.
[21] And they took away their cattle; of their camels
fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and
of asses two thousand, and of men an hundred thousand.
[22] For there fell down many slain, because the war was
of God. And they dwelt in their steads until the captivity.
[23] And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt
in the land: they increased from Bashan unto Baal-hermon and
Senir, and unto mount Hermon.
[24] And these were the heads of the house of their
fathers, even Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and
Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valour, famous
men, and heads of the house of their fathers.
[25] And they transgressed against the God of their
fathers, and went a whoring after the gods of the people of the
land, whom God destroyed before them.
[26] And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul
king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgath-pilneser king of
Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the
Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto
Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this
day.
