1 Chronicles 5:8-25
English Standard Version
Chapter 5
8and Bela the son of Azaz, son of Shema, son of Joel, who lived in Aroer, as far as Nebo and Baal-meon. 9He also lived to the east as far as the entrance of the desert this side of the Euphrates, because their livestock had multiplied in the land of Gilead. 10And in the days of Saul they waged war against the Hagrites, who fell into their hand. And they lived in their tents throughout all the region east of Gilead.
11The sons of Gad lived over against them in the land of Bashan as far as Salecah:
12Joel the chief, Shapham the second, Janai, and Shaphat in Bashan.
13And their kinsmen according to their fathers ' houses: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia and Eber, seven.
14These were the sons of Abihail the son of Huri, son of Jaroah, son of Gilead, son of Michael, son of Jeshishai, son of Jahdo, son of Buz.
15Ahi the son of Abdiel, son of Guni, was chief in their fathers ' houses,
16and they lived in Gilead, in Bashan and in its towns, and in all the pasturelands of Sharon to their limits.
17All of these were recorded in genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.
18The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had valiant men who carried shield and sword, and drew the bow, expert in war, 44,760, able to go to war.
19They waged war against the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.
20And when they prevailed over them, the Hagrites and all who were with them were given into their hands, for they cried out to God in the battle, and he granted their urgent plea because they trusted in him.
21They carried off their livestock: 50,000 of their camels, 250,000 sheep, 2,000 donkeys, and 100,000 men alive.
22For many fell, because the war was of God. And they lived in their place until the exile.
23The members of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land. They were very numerous from Bashan to Baal-hermon, Senir, and Mount Hermon.
24These were the heads of their fathers ' houses: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty warriors, famous men, heads of their fathers ' houses.
25But they broke faith with the God of their fathers, and whored after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.
