Now the sons{H1121} of Reuben{H7205} the firstborn{H1060} of Israel{H3478},(for he was the firstborn{H1060}; but, forasmuch as he defiled{H2490}{(H8763)} his father's{H1} bed{H3326}, his birthright{H1062} was given{H5414}{(H8738)} unto the sons{H1121} of Joseph{H3130} the son{H1121} of Israel{H3478}: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned{H3187}{(H8692)} after the birthright{H1062}.

For Judah{H3063} prevailed{H1396}{(H8804)} above his brethren{H251}, and of him came the chief ruler{H5057}; but the birthright{H1062} was Joseph's{H3130}:)

The sons{H1121}, I say, of Reuben{H7205} the firstborn{H1060} of Israel{H3478} were, Hanoch{H2585}, and Pallu{H6396}, Hezron{H2696}, and Carmi{H3756}.

The sons{H1121} of Joel{H3100}; Shemaiah{H8098} his son{H1121}, Gog{H1463} his son{H1121}, Shimei{H8096} his son{H1121},

Micah{H4318} his son{H1121}, Reaia{H7211} his son{H1121}, Baal{H1168} his son{H1121},

Beerah{H880} his son{H1121}, whom Tilgathpilneser{H8407} king{H4428} of Assyria{H804} carried away{H1540}{(H8689)} captive: he was prince{H5387} of the Reubenites{H7206}.

And his brethren{H251} by their families{H4940}, when the genealogy{H3187} of their generations{H8435} was reckoned{H3187}{(H8692)}, were the chief{H7218}, Jeiel{H3273}, and Zechariah{H2148},

And Bela{H1106} the son{H1121} of Azaz{H5811}, the son{H1121} of Shema{H8087}, the son{H1121} of Joel{H3100}, who dwelt{H3427}{(H8802)} in Aroer{H6177}, even unto Nebo{H5015} and Baalmeon{H1186}:

And eastward{H4217} he inhabited{H3427}{(H8804)} unto the entering{H935}{(H8800)} in of the wilderness{H4057} from the river{H5104} Euphrates{H6578}: because their cattle{H4735} were multiplied{H7235}{(H8804)} in the land{H776} of Gilead{H1568}.

And in the days{H3117} of Saul{H7586} they made{H6213}{(H8804)} war{H4421} with the Hagarites{H1905}, who fell{H5307}{(H8799)} by their hand{H3027}: and they dwelt{H3427}{(H8799)} in their tents{H168} throughout{H6440} all the east{H4217} land of Gilead{H1568}.

And the children{H1121} of Gad{H1410} dwelt{H3427}{(H8804)} over against them, in the land{H776} of Bashan{H1316} unto Salchah{H5548}:

Joel{H3100} the chief{H7218}, and Shapham{H8223} the next{H4932}, and Jaanai{H3285}, and Shaphat{H8202} in Bashan{H1316}.

And their brethren{H251} of the house{H1004} of their fathers{H1} were, Michael{H4317}, and Meshullam{H4918}, and Sheba{H7652}, and Jorai{H3140}, and Jachan{H3275}, and Zia{H2127}, and Heber{H5677}, seven{H7651}.

These are the children{H1121} of Abihail{H32} the son{H1121} of Huri{H2359}, the son{H1121} of Jaroah{H3386}, the son{H1121} of Gilead{H1568}, the son{H1121} of Michael{H4317}, the son{H1121} of Jeshishai{H3454}, the son{H1121} of Jahdo{H3163}, the son{H1121} of Buz{H938};

Ahi{H277} the son{H1121} of Abdiel{H5661}, the son{H1121} of Guni{H1476}, chief{H7218} of the house{H1004} of their fathers{H1}.

And they dwelt{H3427}{(H8799)} in Gilead{H1568} in Bashan{H1316}, and in her towns{H1323}, and in all the suburbs{H4054} of Sharon{H8289}, upon their borders{H8444}.

All these were reckoned by genealogies{H3187}{(H8694)} in the days{H3117} of Jotham{H3147} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063}, and in the days{H3117} of Jeroboam{H3379} king{H4428} of Israel{H3478}.

The sons{H1121} of Reuben{H7205}, and the Gadites{H1425}, and half{H2677} the tribe{H7626} of Manasseh{H4519}, of valiant men{H2428}, men{H582} able to bear{H5375}{(H8802)} buckler{H4043} and sword{H2719}, and to shoot{H1869}{(H8802)} with bow{H7198}, and skilful{H3925}{(H8803)} in war{H4421}, were four{H702} and forty{H705} thousand{H505} seven{H7651} hundred{H3967} and threescore{H8346}, that went out{H3318}{(H8802)} to the war{H6635}.

And they made{H6213}{(H8799)} war{H4421} with the Hagarites{H1905}, with Jetur{H3195}, and Nephish{H5305}, and Nodab{H5114}.

And they were helped{H5826}{(H8735)} against them, and the Hagarites{H1905} were delivered{H5414}{(H8735)} into their hand{H3027}, and all that were with them: for they cried{H2199}{(H8804)} to God{H430} in the battle{H4421}, and he was intreated{H6279}{(H8736)} of them; because they put their trust{H982}{(H8804)} in him.

And they took away{H7617}{(H8799)} their cattle{H4735}; of their camels{H1581} fifty{H2572} thousand{H505}, and of sheep{H6629} two hundred{H3967} and fifty{H2572} thousand{H505}, and of asses{H2543} two thousand{H505}, and of men{H120}{H5315} an hundred{H3967} thousand{H505}.

For there fell{H5307}{(H8804)} down many{H7227} slain{H2491}, because the war{H4421} was of God{H430}. And they dwelt{H3427}{(H8799)} in their steads until the captivity{H1473}.

And the children{H1121} of the half{H2677} tribe{H7626} of Manasseh{H4519} dwelt{H3427}{(H8804)} in the land{H776}: they increased{H7235}{(H8804)} from Bashan{H1316} unto Baalhermon{H1179} and Senir{H8149}, and unto mount{H2022} Hermon{H2768}.

And these were the heads{H7218} of the house{H1004} of their fathers{H1}, even Epher{H6081}, and Ishi{H3469}, and Eliel{H447}, and Azriel{H5837}, and Jeremiah{H3414}, and Hodaviah{H1938}, and Jahdiel{H3164}, mighty{H1368} men{H582} of valour{H2428}, famous{H8034} men{H582}, and heads{H7218} of the house{H1004} of their fathers{H1}.

And they transgressed{H4603}{(H8799)} against the God{H430} of their fathers{H1}, and went a whoring{H2181}{(H8799)} after{H310} the gods{H430} of the people{H5971} of the land{H776}, whom God{H430} destroyed{H8045}{(H8689)} before{H6440} them.

And the God{H430} of Israel{H3478} stirred up{H5782}{(H8686)} the spirit{H7307} of Pul{H6322} king{H4428} of Assyria{H804}, and the spirit{H7307} of Tilgathpilneser{H8407} king{H4428} of Assyria{H804}, and he carried them away{H1540}{(H8686)}, even the Reubenites{H7206}, and the Gadites{H1425}, and the half{H2677} tribe{H7626} of Manasseh{H4519}, and brought{H935}{(H8686)} them unto Halah{H2477}, and Habor{H2249}, and Hara{H2024}, and to the river{H5104} Gozan{H1470}, unto this day{H3117}.
