1Now the sons1121 of Reuben7205 the firstborn1060 of Israel3478, (for he was the firstborn1060; but, forasmuch as he defiled2490 his father's1 bed3326, his birthright1062 was given5414 unto the sons1121 of Joseph3130 the son1121 of Israel3478: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned3187 after the birthright1062.
2For Judah3063 prevailed1396 above his brethren251, and of him came the chief ruler5057; but the birthright1062 was Joseph's3130:)
3The sons1121, I say, of Reuben7205 the firstborn1060 of Israel3478 were, Hanoch2585, and Pallu6396, Hezron2696, and Carmi3756.
4The sons1121 of Joel3100; Shemaiah8098 his son1121, Gog1463 his son1121, Shimei8096 his son1121,
5Micah4318 his son1121, Reaia7211 his son1121, Baal1168 his son1121,
6Beerah880 his son1121, whom Tilgathpilneser8407 king4428 of Assyria804 carried away1540 captive: he was prince5387 of the Reubenites7206.
7And his brethren251 by their families4940, when the genealogy3187 of their generations8435 was reckoned3187, were the chief7218, Jeiel3273, and Zechariah2148,
8And Bela1106 the son1121 of Azaz5811, the son1121 of Shema8087, the son1121 of Joel3100, who dwelt3427 in Aroer6177, even unto Nebo5015 and Baalmeon1186:
9And eastward4217 he inhabited3427 unto the entering935 in of the wilderness4057 from the river5104 Euphrates6578: because their cattle4735 were multiplied7235 in the land776 of Gilead1568.
10And in the days3117 of Saul7586 they made6213 war4421 with the Hagarites1905, who fell5307 by their hand3027: and they dwelt3427 in their tents168 throughout6440 all the east4217 land of Gilead1568.
11And the children1121 of Gad1410 dwelt3427 over against them, in the land776 of Bashan1316 unto Salchah5548:
12Joel3100 the chief7218, and Shapham8223 the next4932, and Jaanai3285, and Shaphat8202 in Bashan1316.
13And their brethren251 of the house1004 of their fathers1 were, Michael4317, and Meshullam4918, and Sheba7652, and Jorai3140, and Jachan3275, and Zia2127, and Heber5677, seven7651.
14These are the children1121 of Abihail32 the son1121 of Huri2359, the son1121 of Jaroah3386, the son1121 of Gilead1568, the son1121 of Michael4317, the son1121 of Jeshishai3454, the son1121 of Jahdo3163, the son1121 of Buz938;
15Ahi277 the son1121 of Abdiel5661, the son1121 of Guni1476, chief7218 of the house1004 of their fathers1.
16And they dwelt3427 in Gilead1568 in Bashan1316, and in her towns1323, and in all the suburbs4054 of Sharon8289, upon their borders8444.
17All these were reckoned by genealogies3187 in the days3117 of Jotham3147 king4428 of Judah3063, and in the days3117 of Jeroboam3379 king4428 of Israel3478.
18The sons1121 of Reuben7205, and the Gadites1425, and half2677 the tribe7626 of Manasseh4519, of valiant men2428, men582 able to bear5375 buckler4043 and sword2719, and to shoot1869 with bow7198, and skilful3925 in war4421, were four702 and forty705 thousand505 seven7651 hundred3967 and threescore8346, that went out3318 to the war6635.
19And they made6213 war4421 with the Hagarites1905, with Jetur3195, and Nephish5305, and Nodab5114.
20And they were helped5826 against them, and the Hagarites1905 were delivered5414 into their hand3027, and all that were with them: for they cried2199 to God430 in the battle4421, and he was intreated6279 of them; because they put their trust982 in him.
21And they took away7617 their cattle4735; of their camels1581 fifty2572 thousand505, and of sheep6629 two hundred3967 and fifty2572 thousand505, and of asses2543 two thousand505, and of men120 5315 an hundred3967 thousand505.
22For there fell5307 down many7227 slain2491, because the war4421 was of God430. And they dwelt3427 in their steads until the captivity1473.
23And the children1121 of the half2677 tribe7626 of Manasseh4519 dwelt3427 in the land776: they increased7235 from Bashan1316 unto Baalhermon1179 and Senir8149, and unto mount2022 Hermon2768.
24And these were the heads7218 of the house1004 of their fathers1, even Epher6081, and Ishi3469, and Eliel447, and Azriel5837, and Jeremiah3414, and Hodaviah1938, and Jahdiel3164, mighty1368 men582 of valour2428, famous8034 men582, and heads7218 of the house1004 of their fathers1.
25And they transgressed4603 against the God430 of their fathers1, and went a whoring2181 after310 the gods430 of the people5971 of the land776, whom God430 destroyed8045 before6440 them.
26And the God430 of Israel3478 stirred up5782 the spirit7307 of Pul6322 king4428 of Assyria804, and the spirit7307 of Tilgathpilneser8407 king4428 of Assyria804, and he carried them away1540, even the Reubenites7206, and the Gadites1425, and the half2677 tribe7626 of Manasseh4519, and brought935 them unto Halah2477, and Habor2249, and Hara2024, and to the river5104 Gozan1470, unto this day3117.
