Context of 1 Chronicles 5:19
17All these people were recorded in genealogical records in the days of King Jotham of Judah and King Jeroboam of Israel. 18The descendants of Reuben, Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 soldiers ready to go to war. They were skilled fighters who could carry shields and swords and shoot arrows. They went to war against Hagar’s descendants (including Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab) 20and received help while fighting them. Hagar’s descendants and the nations with them were handed over to Reuben’s descendants. They had called out to God during the battle, and he answered their prayers because they trusted him. 21They confiscated the Hagrites’ livestock: 50,000 of their camels, 250,000 sheep and goats, and 2,000 donkeys. They captured 100,000 people.
