1 Chronicles 5:11-26


Sons of Gad

11 Now the sons of Gad lived opposite them in the land of aBashan as far as bSalecah.
12 Joel was the chief and Shapham the second, then Janai and Shaphat in Bashan. 13 Their 1relatives of their fathers’ households were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber, seven. 14 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;
15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was head of their fathers’ households. 16 They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and in its towns, and in all the pasture lands of aSharon, as far as their 1borders. 17 All of these were recorded in the genealogies in the days of aJotham king of Judah and in the days of bJeroboam king of Israel.
18 The sons of Reuben and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, consisting of men of valor, men who bore shield and sword and shot with bow and were learned in the ways of battle, were 44,760, who awent out for military duty.
19 They made war against athe Hagrites, bJetur, Naphish, and Nodab. 20 They were helped against them, and the Hagrites and all who were with them were given into their hand; for athey cried out to God in the battle, and He was moved by their entreaty because bthey trusted in Him. 21 They took captive their cattle: their 50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, 2,000 donkeys; and 100,000 1men. 22 For many fell slain, because athe war was of God. And bthey lived in their place until the cexile.

Sons of the Half‑Tribe of Manasseh

23 Now the sons of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land; from Bashan to Baal-hermon and aSenir and Mount Hermon they were numerous.
24 These were the heads of their fathers’ households, even Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valor, men of renown, heads of their fathers’ households.
25 But they aacted unfaithfully against the God of their fathers and bplayed the harlot cafter the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.
26 So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of aPul, king of Assyria, even the spirit of 1Tilgath-pilneser, king of Assyria, and he btook them away into exile, namely the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and to the river of Gozan, to this day.
