King James Version
These
were
the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel .
Though
he was the firstborn, his birthright was given to
the sons of Joseph son of Israel ,
because
Reuben
defiled
his
father’s
bed.
So
he
is not reckoned
according
to birthright.
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.
And
though
Judah prevailed over
his brothers
and a
ruler
came
from
him ,
the birthright belonged
to
Joseph.
For
Judah prevailed above
his brethren,
and of
him came
the chief
ruler;
but
the
birthright was
Joseph's:)
The sons of Reuben ,
the firstborn of Israel :
Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
The sons ,
I
say,
of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were,
Hanoch, and
Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
The descendants
of Joel :
Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
The sons
of Joel ;
Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
Micah his son, Reaiah
his son, Baal his son,
Micah his son, Reaia
his son, Baal his son,
and
Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-pileser
king of Assyria carried into
exile.
Beerah
was a
leader
of the Reubenites.
Beerah his son, whom Tilgathpilneser
king of Assyria carried away
captive:
he
was prince
of the Reubenites.
His relatives
by their clans
are
recorded
in
their
genealogy :
Jeiel
the chief, Zechariah,
And
his brethren
by their families,
when
the
genealogy of
their
generations
was
reckoned,
were
the chief, Jeiel,
and
Zechariah,
and Bela son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel .
They
settled
in Aroer and
as
far
as
Nebo and Baal-meon.
And Bela the
son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel ,
who
dwelt
in Aroer ,
even
unto
Nebo and Baalmeon:
They
also
settled
in
the
east
as
far
as
the edge
of the desert
that
extends
to
the Euphrates
River ,
because their livestock
had
increased
in the land of Gilead.
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.
During
the days of Saul they waged
war against
the Hagrites
, who were
defeated
at
their hands,
and they occupied
the
homes
of
the
Hagrites
throughout the region
east 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.
The descendants
of Gad lived
next
to
the
Reubenites
in the land of Bashan ,
as
far
as
Salecah
:
And
the children
of Gad dwelt
over
against
them,
in the land of Bashan unto
Salcah
:
Joel was
the chief, Shapham the second
, then
Jaanai and Shaphat ,
who
lived
in Bashan.
Joel the chief, and
Shapham the next
, and
Jaanai ,
and Shaphat in Bashan.
Their kinsmen
by
families
were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan
, Zia, and Eber—
seven in
all
.
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 were
the sons
of Abihail 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 .
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 son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was
head
of their family
.
Ahi the
son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief
of the
house
of
their fathers
.
They lived
in Gilead ,
in Bashan and its
towns, and throughout
the pasturelands
of Sharon.
And
they dwelt
in Gilead in Bashan ,
and in
her
towns, and in
all
the suburbs
of Sharon ,
upon
their
borders
.
All of
them
were reckoned in
the
genealogies during
the reigns
of Jotham king of Judah and Jeroboam king of Israel.
All these
were reckoned by
genealogies in
the days
of Jotham king of Judah ,
and in
the
days
of
Jeroboam king of Israel.
The Reubenites
, the Gadites, and the
half -
tribe of Manasseh had
44
, 760
warriors—
valiant men who
carried
the
shield
and sword, drew
the
bow, and were trained
for
battle
.
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 skillful
in
war,
were four
and
forty
thousand
seven
hundred
and
threescore,
that
went
out
to
the
war
.
They waged
war against
the Hagrites
, as
well
as
Jetur, Naphish
, and Nodab.
And
they made
war with
the Hagarites
, with
Jetur, and
Nephish
, and Nodab.
And because
they cried
out
to
God
in
battle,
they
were helped against their
enemies
, and the Hagrites
and
all
their
allies
were delivered into their hands.
Because they put their trust in God,
He
answered
their
prayers
.
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
.
They seized
the
livestock
of the
Hagrites—50,000
camels ,
250
, 000
sheep, and 2
, 000
donkeys
. They
also
took
100,000
captives,
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
.
and
many
others
fell slain, because the battle
belonged
to
God. And they occupied
the
land
until the exile
.
For
there
fell down
many
slain, because the war
was
of
God. And they dwelt
in
their
steads
until the captivity
.
Now
the people
of the half -
tribe of Manasseh were
numerous.
They
settled
in the land from Bashan to
Baal-hermon
(that
is,
Senir, also
known
as
Mount Hermon )
.
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.
These were the heads of their families:
Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel .
They
were
mighty men of valor, famous men, and heads of their families
.
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 valor, famous men, and heads of the
house
of
their fathers
.
But
they were
unfaithful
to
the God of their fathers, and they
prostituted
themselves
with
the gods of the peoples
of the land, whom God had
destroyed before them.
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.
So
the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria (that
is
, Tiglath-pileser
king of Assyria )
to
take
the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half -
tribe of Manasseh into
exile.
And he
brought them to
Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of
Gozan, where
they
remain
to
this day.
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.
