1Chronicles:5-6
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
For Judah prevailed above his brethren ,
and of him came the chief ruler ;
but the birthright was Joseph '
s :)
*
The sons ,
I say ,
of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were ,
Hanoch ,
and 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 ,
were the chief ,
Jeiel ,
and Zechariah ,
*
And Bela the son of Azaz ,
the son of Shema ,
the son of Joel ,
who dwelt in Aroer ,
even unto Nebo and Baalmeon :
*
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 .
*
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 children of Gad dwelt over against them ,
in the land of Bashan unto Salchah :
*
Joel the chief ,
and Shapham the next ,
and Jaanai ,
and Shaphat in Bashan .
*
And their brethren of the house of their fathers were ,
Michael ,
and Meshullam ,
and Sheba ,
and Jorai ,
and Jachan ,
and Zia ,
and Heber ,
seven .
*
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 ;
*
Ahi the son of Abdiel ,
the son of Guni ,
chief 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 borders .
*
All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah ,
and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel .
*
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 .
*
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 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 .
*
For there fell down many slain ,
because the war was of God .
And they dwelt in their steads until the captivity .
*
And the children 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 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 .
*
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 .
*
And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria ,
and the spirit of Tilgathpilneser 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 .
