1 Chronicles 5
American Standard Version
1And the sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205 the first-born of IsraelH3478 (for he was the first-born; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father’sH1 couch, his birthrightH1062 was givenH5414 unto the sonsH1121 of JosephH3130 the sonH1121 of IsraelH3478; and the genealogyH3187 is not to be reckoned after the birthrightH1062. 2For JudahH3063 prevailedH1396 above his brethren, and of him came the princeH5057; but the birthrightH1062 was Joseph’s), 3the sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205 the first-born of IsraelH3478: HanochH2585, and PalluH6396, HezronH2696, and CarmiH3756. 4The sonsH1121 of JoelH3100: ShemaiahH8098 his sonH1121, GogH1463 his sonH1121, ShimeiH8096 his sonH1121, 5MicahH4318 his sonH1121, ReaiahH7211 his sonH1121, BaalH1168 his sonH1121, 6Beerah his sonH1121, whom Tilgath-pilneser kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 carried away captive: he was princeH5387 of the Reubenites. 7And his brethren by their familiesH4940, when the genealogyH3187 of their generationsH8435 was reckoned: the chiefH7218, JeielH3273, and ZechariahH2148, 8and BelaH1106 the sonH1121 of Azaz, the sonH1121 of ShemaH8087, the sonH1121 of JoelH3100, who dweltH3427 in AroerH6177, even unto NeboH5015 and Baal-meonH1186: 9and eastward he dweltH3427 even unto the entrance of the wildernessH4057 from the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578, because their cattle were multipliedH7235 in the landH776 of GileadH1568. 10And in the daysH3117 of SaulH7586, they madeH6213 warH4421 with the HagritesH1905, who fellH5307 by their handH3027; and they dweltH3427 in their tentsH168 throughout all the land eastH4217 of GileadH1568.
11And the sonsH1121 of GadH1410 dweltH3427 over against them, in the landH776 of BashanH1316 unto SalecahH5548: 12JoelH3100 the chiefH7218, and Shapham the secondH4932, and Janai, and ShaphatH8202 in BashanH1316. 13And their brethren of their fathers’H1 housesH1004: MichaelH4317, and MeshullamH4918, and ShebaH7652, and Jorai, and Jacan, and Zia, and EberH5677, sevenH7651. 14These were the sonsH1121 of AbihailH32, the sonH1121 of Huri, the sonH1121 of Jaroah, the sonH1121 of GileadH1568, the sonH1121 of MichaelH4317, the sonH1121 of Jeshishai, the sonH1121 of Jahdo, the sonH1121 of BuzH938; 15AhiH277 the sonH1121 of Abdiel, the sonH1121 of GuniH1476, chiefH7218 of their fathers’H1 housesH1004. 16And they dweltH3427 in GileadH1568 in BashanH1316, and in its towns, and in all the suburbs of SharonH8289, as far as their borders. 17All these were reckoned by genealogiesH3187 in the daysH3117 of JothamH3147 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and in the daysH3117 of JeroboamH3379 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.
18The sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of ManassehH4519, of valiant menH376, menH376 able to bearH5375 buckler and swordH2719, and to shoot with bowH7198, and skilful in warH4421, were fortyH705 and fourH702 thousandH505 sevenH7651 hundredH3967 and threescore, that were able to goH3318 forthH3318 to warH4421. 19And they madeH6213 warH4421 with the HagritesH1905, with JeturH3195, and NaphishH5305, and Nodab. 20And they were helpedH5826 against them, and the HagritesH1905 were delivered into their handH3027, and all that were with them; for they criedH2199 to GodH430 in the battleH4421, and he was entreatedH6279 of them, because they putH5414 their trustH982 in him. 21And they tookH7617 away their cattle; of their camelsH1581 fiftyH2572 thousandH505, and of sheepH6629 twoH3967 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 thousandH505, and of asses twoH3967 thousandH505, and of menH120 a hundredH3967 thousandH505. 22For there fellH5307 manyH7227 slainH2491, because the warH4421 was of GodH430. And they dweltH3427 in their stead until the captivity.
23And the children of the half-tribe of ManassehH4519 dweltH3427 in the landH776: they increasedH7235 from BashanH1316 unto Baal-hermonH1179 and SenirH8149 and mount HermonH2768. 24And these were the headsH7218 of their fathers’H1 housesH1004: even EpherH6081, and IshiH3469, and ElielH447, and AzrielH5837, and JeremiahH3414, and HodaviahH1938, and Jahdiel, mightyH1368 menH376 of valor, famous menH376, headsH7218 of their fathers’H1 housesH1004.
25And they trespassed against the GodH430 of their fathersH1, and playedH2181 the harlot after the godsH430 of the peoplesH5971 of the landH776, whom GodH430 destroyedH8045 before them. 26And the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 stirredH5782 up the spiritH7307 of PulH6322 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and the spiritH7307 of Tilgath-pilneser kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of ManassehH4519, and broughtH935 them unto HalahH2477, and HaborH2249, and Hara, and to the riverH5104 of GozanH1470, unto this dayH3117.
