1 Chronicles 5

The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for he was the firstborn; but, because he defiled his father's couch, his birthright was given to the sons of Yusuf Ibn Israel; and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright. ²For Judah prevailed above his brothers, and of him came the prince; but the birthright was Yusuf's:) ³the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. ⁴The sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Yajuj his son, Shimei his son, ⁵Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son, ⁶Beerah his son, whom Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites. ⁷His brothers by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was reckoned: the chief, Jeiel, and Zakariyya, ⁸and Bela Ibn Azaz, Ibn Shema, Ibn Joel, who lived in Aroer, even to Nebo and Baal Meon: ⁹and eastward he lived even to the entrance of the wilderness from the river Euphrates, because their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead. ¹⁰In the days of Talut, they made war with the Hagrites, who fell by their hand; and they lived in their tents throughout all the land east of Gilead. ¹¹The sons of Gad lived over against them, in the land of Bashan to Salecah: ¹²Joel the chief, and Shapham the second, and Janai, and Shaphat in Bashan. ¹³Their brothers of their fathers' houses: Mikail, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jacan, and Zia, and Eber, seven. ¹⁴These were the sons of Abihail Ibn Huri, Ibn Jaroah, Ibn Gilead, Ibn Mikail, Ibn Jeshishai, Ibn Jahdo, Ibn Buz; ¹⁵Ahi Ibn Abdiel, Ibn Guni, chief of their fathers' houses. ¹⁶They lived in Gilead in Bashan, and in its towns, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, as far as their borders. ¹⁷All these were reckoned 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 the half-tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear shield and sword, and to shoot with bow, and skillful in war, were forty-four thousand seven hundred and sixty, that were able to go forth to war. ¹⁹They made war with the Hagrites, with Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab. ²⁰They were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them; for they cried to God in the battle, and he was entreated of them, because they put their trust in him. ²¹They took away their cattle; of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred fifty thousand, and of donkeys two thousand, and of men one hundred thousand. ²²For there fell many slain, because the war was of God. They lived in their place until the captivity. ²³The children of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land: they increased from Bashan to Baal Hermon and Senir and Mount Hermon. ²⁴These were the heads of their fathers' houses: even Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Armiya, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valour, famous men, heads of their fathers' houses. ²⁵They trespassed against the God of their fathers, and played the prostitute after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God destroyed before them. ²⁶The 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 to Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river of Gozan, to this day.
