Context of 1 Chronicles 5:7

5Shimei's son Micah. Micah's son Reaiah. Reaiah's son Baal. 6Baal's son Beerah. Beerah was a leader of Reuben's tribe. Tiglath-Pileser, king of Assyria, took him away to Assyria as his prisoner. The lists of Reuben's descendants include these leaders of their clans: Jeiel was the first, then Zechariah and Bela. 8Bela was the son of Azaz. Azaz was the son of Shema. Shema was the son of Joel. Reuben's people lived in the region of Aroer, as far north as Nebo and Baal-Meon. 9Their east border was the desert that goes all the way to the Euphrates River. They had too many animals to feed in the region of Gilead. So they had to live in all those other places too.
