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 head and Shapham the second, then Janai and Shaphat in Bashan. 13Their relatives 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 3Sharon, as far as their 4borders. 17All of these were enrolled in the genealogies in the days of 5Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of 6Jeroboam king of Israel.

18The sons of Reuben, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, consisting of valiant men, men who carried shield and sword and shot with a bow and were skillful in battle, totaled 44,760 who 7went to war. 19They made war against 8the Hagrites, 9Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab. 20They were helped against them, and the Hagrites and all who were with them were handed over to them; for 10they cried out to God in the battle, and He answered their prayers because 11they trusted in Him. 21They took away their livestock: their fifty thousand camels, 250,000 sheep, and two thousand donkeys; and a hundred thousand 12people. 22For many fell mortally wounded, because 13the war was of God. And 14they settled in their place until the 15exile.

23Now the sons of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land; from Bashan to Baal-hermon, 16Senir, and Mount Hermon they were numerous. 24These were the heads of their fathers’ households: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, valiant mighty men, famous men, heads of their fathers’ households.

25But they were 17untrue to the God of their fathers and 18prostituted themselves 19with the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.
