* And the sons of Reuben the first-born of Israel (for he was the first-born ; but since he defiled his father 's bed , his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph , the son of Israel ; and the genealogy is not to be counted according to the birthright ; * for Judah prevailed among his brothers , and from him was the chief ruler , but the birthright was Joseph 's ) * the sons of Reuben the first-born of Israel : Hanoch , and Pallu , 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 exiled . He was ruler of the men of Reuben . * And his brothers by their families , in the genealogy of their generations : Jeiel the chief ; also Zechariah ; * and Bela , the son of Azaz , the son of Shema , the son of Joel , who lived in Aroer , even to Nebo and Baal-meon . * And he lived as far to the east as to the entrance of the wilderness from the Euphrates River , because their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead . * And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarites , and they fell by their hand . And they lived in their tents , to all the face of the east of Gilead . * And the sons of Gad lived across from them , in the land of Bashan , to Salchah : * Joel the chief ; and Shapham , the next ; and Jaanai ; and Shaphat in Bashan . * And their brothers from the house of their fathers were Michael , and Meshullam , and Sheba , and Jorai , and Jachan , and Zia , and Heber , seven . * These are 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 ; * Ahi , the son of Abdiel , the son of Guni , chief of the house of their fathers . * And they lived in Gilead in Bashan , and in her towns , and in all the open lands of Sharon , on their borders . * All these were enrolled by genealogy in the days of king Jotham of Judah , and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel . * The sons of Reuben , and the sons of Gad , and half the tribe of Manasseh , even sons of valor , men lifting up shield and sword , and shooting with bow , and able in war were forty four thousand , seven hundred and sixty , going out to war . * And they made war with the Hagarites , and Jetur , and Nephish , and Nodab . * And they were helped against them . And the Hagarites were delivered into their hand , and all who were with them . For they cried to God in the battle , and He was entreated for them , because they trusted in Him . * And they took away their livestock : their camels , fifty thousand ; and sheep , two hundred and fifty thousand ; and asses , two thousand ; and souls of men , a hundred thousand . * For many fell down slain , because the war was of God . And they lived in their places until the exile . * And the sons of the half tribe of Manasseh lived in the land . They increased from Bashan to Baal-hermon , and Senir , and Mount Hermon . * 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 war , famous men , heads of their fathers ' house . * And they sinned against the God of their fathers , and went lusting after the gods of the people of the land , whom God destroyed before them . * 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 exiled them ; even the Reubenites ; and the Gadites ; and the half tribe of Manasseh . And he brought them to Halah , and Habor , and Hara , and to the Gozan River , to this day .
