1 Chronicles 5:11-25

11And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in the land of Bashan, as far as Salcah:

12Joel was the chief and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat in Bashan.

13And their brethren according to their fathers' houses were Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jaachan, and Zia, and Eber, seven.

14— These were the sons of Abihail, the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz:

15Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was chief of their fathers' house.

16And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in its towns, and in all the pasture-grounds of Sharon, as far as their limits.

17All these were registered by genealogy in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

18The children of Reuben and the Gadites and half the tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men who carried shield and sword, drawing the bow and skilful in war, were forty-four thousand seven hundred and sixty, able to go forth to war.

19And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab;

20and they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered into their hand, and all that were with them; for they cried to 1God in the battle, and he was intreated of them, because they put their trust in him.

21And they took away their cattle: their camels fifty thousand, and two hundred and fifty thousand sheep, and two thousand asses, and a hundred thousand human souls.

22For there fell down many slain, for the war was of 2God. And they dwelt in their stead until the captivity.

23And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land, from Bashan as far as Baal-Hermon and Senir, and mount Hermon; they were many.

24And these were the heads of their fathers' houses: Epher, and Jishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valour, famous men, heads of their fathers' houses.

25And they transgressed against the 3God of their fathers, and went a whoring after the 4gods of the peoples of the land, whom 5God had destroyed before them.
