1 Chronicles 5:16-26
16They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its surrounding villages, and throughout the pasturelands of Sharon.
17All of them were registered in the genealogies during the reigns of Judah’s King Jotham and Israel’s King Jeroboam.
18The descendants of Reuben and Gad and half the tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 warriors who could serve in the army — men who carried shield and sword, drew the bow, and were trained for war.
19They waged war against the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.
20They received help against these enemies because they cried out to God in battle, and the Hagrites and all their allies were handed over to them. He was receptive to their prayer because they trusted in him.
21They captured the Hagrites’ livestock — fifty thousand of their camels, two hundred fifty thousand sheep, and two thousand donkeys — as well as one hundred thousand people.
22Many of the Hagrites were killed because it was God’s battle. And they lived there in the Hagrites’ place until the exile.
23The descendants of half the tribe of Manasseh settled in the land from Bashan to Baal-hermon (that is, Senir or Mount Hermon); they were numerous.
24These were the heads of their ancestral families: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were valiant warriors, famous men, and heads of their ancestral houses.
25But they were unfaithful to the God of their ancestors. They prostituted themselves with the gods of the nations God had destroyed before them.
26So the God of Israel roused the spirit of King Pul (that is, Tiglath-pileser) of Assyria, and he took the Reubenites, Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh into exile. He took them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and Gozan’s river, where they are until today.
