* Now the sons of Reuben , the firstborn of Israel , (for he [was ] the firstborn , but because he defiled his father 's bed , his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph , the son of Israel ; and he was not counted as the firstborn . * For Judah prevailed above his brethren and was their prince , but the birthright [was ] Joseph 's :) * The sons , [therefore ], of Reuben , the firstborn of Israel , were Enoch , Pallu , Hezron , and Carmi . * The sons of Joel : Shemaiah , his son , Gog , his son , Shimei , his son , * Micah , his son , Reaia , his son , Baal , his son , * Beerah , his son , whom Tilgathpilneser , king of Assyria , carried away [captive ]. He [was ] prince of the Reubenites . * And his brethren by their families , when the genealogy of their generations was reckoned , had as princes , Jeiel and Zechariah . * And Bela , the son of Azaz , the son of Shema , the son of Joel , dwelt in Aroer , even until Nebo and Baalmeon . * And eastward he inhabited unto the entering in of the wilderness from the river Euphrates , because their livestock 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 all the east [land ] of Gilead . * And the sons of Gad dwelt over against them , in the land of Bashan unto Salchah . * Joel , the chief , and Shapham , second , and Jaanai and Shaphat in Bashan . * And their brethren of the house of their fathers [were ] Michael , Meshullam , Sheba , Jorai , Jachan , Zia , and Heber , seven . * These [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 . * Also Ahi , the son of Abdiel , the son of Guni , was the prince of the house of their fathers . * And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan and in her towns and in all the suburbs of Sharon , upon their goings forth . * All these were reckoned by their generations in the days of Jotham , king of Judah , and in the days of Jeroboam , king of Israel . * The sons of Reuben and of Gad and half the tribe of Manasseh , valiant men , men able to bear buckler and sword and to shoot with bow and skillful in war [were ] four-forty thousand seven hundred and sixty , that went out to the war . * And they made war with the Hagarites , with Jetur and Nephish and Nodab . * 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 . * And they took away their livestock ; fifty thousand camels and two hundred and fifty thousand sheep and two thousand asses and one hundred thousand persons . * For there fell down many slain because the war [was ] of God . And they dwelt in their steads until the captivity . * And the sons of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land ; they increased from Bashan unto Baalhermon and Senir and unto Mount Hermon . * And these [were ] the heads of the houses of their fathers : Epher , Ishi , Eliel , Azriel , Jeremiah , Hodaviah , and Jahdiel , mighty men of valour , famous men , [and ] heads of the houses of their fathers . * But they rebelled against the God of their fathers and fornicated after the gods of the people of the land , whom God had destroyed before them . * And for this the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul , king of Assyria , and the spirit of Tilgathpilneser , king of Assyria , and he carried away 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 .:
