1 Chronicles 5:11-25

11Now the sons of Gad lived opposite them in the land of 1Bashan as far as 2Salecah. 12Joel was the chief and Shapham the second, then Janai and Shaphat in Bashan. 13Their 3kinsmen of their fathers’ households were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia and Eber, seven. 14These 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 head of their fathers’ households. 16They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and in its towns, and in all the pasture lands of 4Sharon, as far as their 5borders. 17All of these were enrolled in the genealogies in the days of 6Jotham king of Judah and in the days of 7Jeroboam king of Israel.

18The sons of Reuben and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, consisting of valiant men, men who bore shield and sword and shot with bow and were skillful in battle, were 44,760, who 8went to war. 19They made war against 9the Hagrites, 10Jetur, Naphish and Nodab. 20They were helped against them, and the Hagrites and all who were with them were given into their hand; for 11they cried out to God in the battle, and He answered their prayers because 12they trusted in Him. 21They took away their cattle: their 50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, 2,000 donkeys; and 100,000 13men. 22For many fell slain, because 14the war was of God. And 15they settled in their place until the 16exile.

23Now the sons of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land; from Bashan to Baal-hermon and 17Senir and Mount Hermon they were numerous. 24These were the heads of their fathers’ households, even Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah and Jahdiel, mighty men of valor, famous men, heads of their fathers’ households.

25But they 18acted treacherously against the God of their fathers and 19played the harlot 20after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.
