Chapter 5
Now
the
sons
of
Reuben
the
firstborn
of
Israel,
(for
he
was
the
firstborn;
but,
forasmuch
as
he
defiled
his
father’s
bed,
his
birthright
was
given
unto
the
sons
of
Joseph
the
son
of
Israel:
and
the
genealogy
is
not
to
be
reckoned
after
the
birthright.
2
For
Judah
prevailed
above
his
brethren,
and
of
him
came
the
chief
ruler;
but
the
birthright
was
Joseph’s:)
3
The
sons,
I
say,
of
Reuben
the
firstborn
of
Israel
were,
Hanoch,
and
Pallu,
Hezron,
and
Carmi.
4
The
sons
of
Joel;
Shemaiah
his
son,
Gog
his
son,
Shimei
his
son,
5
Micah
his
son,
Reaia
his
son,
Baal
his
son,
6
Beerah
his
son,
whom
Tilgath-pilneser
king
of
Assyria
carried
away
captive:
he
was
prince
of
the
Reubenites.
7
And
his
brethren
by
their
families,
when
the
genealogy
of
their
generations
was
reckoned,
were
the
chief,
Jeiel,
and
Zechariah,
8
And
Bela
the
son
of
Azaz,
the
son
of
Shema,
the
son
of
Joel,
who
dwelt
in
Aroer,
even
unto
Nebo
and
Baal-meon:
9
And
eastward
he
inhabited
unto
the
entering
in
of
the
wilderness
from
the
river
Euphrates:
because
their
cattle
were
multiplied
in
the
land
of
Gilead.
10
And
in
the
days
of
Saul
they
made
war
with
the
Hagarites,
who
fell
by
their
hand:
and
they
dwelt
in
their
tents
throughout
all
the
east
land
of
Gilead.
11
And
the
children
of
Gad
dwelt
over
against
them,
in
the
land
of
Bashan
unto
Salchah:
12
Joel
the
chief,
and
Shapham
the
next,
and
Jaanai,
and
Shaphat
in
Bashan.
13
And
their
brethren
of
the
house
of
their
fathers
were,
Michael,
and
Meshullam,
and
Sheba,
and
Jorai,
and
Jachan,
and
Zia,
and
Heber,
seven.
14
These
are
the
children
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;
15
Ahi
the
son
of
Abdiel,
the
son
of
Guni,
chief
of
the
house
of
their
fathers.
16
And
they
dwelt
in
Gilead
in
Bashan,
and
in
her
towns,
and
in
all
the
suburbs
of
Sharon,
upon
their
borders.
17
All
these
were
reckoned
by
genealogies
in
the
days
of
Jotham
king
of
Judah,
and
in
the
days
of
Jeroboam
king
of
Israel.
18
The
sons
of
Reuben,
and
the
Gadites,
and
half
the
tribe
of
Manasseh,
of
valiant
men,
men
able
to
bear
buckler
and
sword,
and
to
shoot
with
bow,
and
skilful
in
war,
were
four
and
forty
thousand
seven
hundred
and
threescore,
that
went
out
to
the
war.
19
And
they
made
war
with
the
Hagarites,
with
Jetur,
and
Nephish,
and
Nodab.
20
And
they
were
helped
against
them,
and
the
Hagarites
were
delivered
into
their
hand,
and
all
that
were
with
them:
for
they
cried
to
God
in
the
battle,
and
he
was
intreated
of
them;
because
they
put
their
trust
in
him.
21
And
they
took
away
their
cattle;
of
their
camels
fifty
thousand,
and
of
sheep
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand,
and
of
asses
two
thousand,
and
of
men
an
hundred
thousand.
22
For
there
fell
down
many
slain,
because
the
war
was
of
God.
And
they
dwelt
in
their
steads
until
the
captivity.
23
And
the
children
of
the
half
tribe
of
Manasseh
dwelt
in
the
land:
they
increased
from
Bashan
unto
Baal-hermon
and
Senir,
and
unto
mount
Hermon.
24
And
these
were
the
heads
of
the
house
of
their
fathers,
even
Epher,
and
Ishi,
and
Eliel,
and
Azriel,
and
Jeremiah,
and
Hodaviah,
and
Jahdiel,
mighty
men
of
valour,
famous
men,
and
heads
of
the
house
of
their
fathers.
25
And
they
transgressed
against
the
God
of
their
fathers,
and
went
a
whoring
after
the
gods
of
the
people
of
the
land,
whom
God
destroyed
before
them.
26
And
the
God
of
Israel
stirred
up
the
spirit
of
Pul
king
of
Assyria,
and
the
spirit
of
Tilgath-pilneser
king
of
Assyria,
and
he
carried
them
away,
even
the
Reubenites,
and
the
Gadites,
and
the
half
tribe
of
Manasseh,
and
brought
them
unto
Halah,
and
Habor,
and
Hara,
and
to
the
river
Gozan,
unto
this
day.
