*
And the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (
for he was the firstborn ;
but ,
inasmuch as he defiled his father '
s bed ,
his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel ;
but the genealogy is not registered according to the birthright ,
*
for Judah prevailed among his brethren ,
and of him was the prince ,
but the birthright was Joseph '
s ),
* --
the sons of Reuben ,
the firstborn of Israel :
Enoch and Phallu ,
Hezron and Carmi .
*
The sons of Joel :
Shemaiah his son ,
Gog his son ,
Shimei his son ,
*
Micah his son ,
Reaiah his son ,
Baal his son ,
*
Beerah his son ,
whom Tilgath-Pilneser king of Assyria carried away captive :
he was prince of the Reubenites .
*
And his brethren by their families ,
in the genealogical register of their generations ,
were :
the chief ,
Jeiel ,
and Zechariah ,
*
and Bela the son of Azaz ,
the son of Shema ,
the son of Joel ,
who dwelt in Aroer ,
as far as Nebo and Baal-meon ;
*
and eastward he dwelt as far as the entrance to the wilderness from the river Euphrates ;
for their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead .
*
And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarites ,
who fell by their hand ;
and they dwelt in their tents throughout the east side of Gilead .
