Context of 1 Chronicles 5:7

5Shimei’s son was Micah. Micah’s son was Reaiah. Reaiah’s son was Baal. 6Baal’s son was Beerah. King Tiglath Pilneser of Assyria took him away as a captive. He was leader of the tribe of Reuben. Beerah’s brothers according to their families, when they were enrolled in the genealogical records according to their ancestry, were as follows: The first was Jeiel, then Zechariah 8and Bela (son of Azaz, grandson of Shema, and great-grandson of Joel). Reuben’s descendants lived in Aroer as far as Nebo and Baal Meon. 9Some of them lived eastward as far as the edge of the desert that extends to the Euphrates River, because they had so much livestock in Gilead.
