1 Chronicles 5
The Descendants of
Reuben |
1 |
Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of
Israel, (for he was the firstborn; but, forasmuch as he
defiled his father's bed, Gen. 35.22 ; 49.3, 4 his
birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and
the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright.
|
2 |
For Judah prevailed above his brethren,
and of him came the chief ruler; Gen. 49.8-10 but the birthright was Joseph's:)
|
3 |
the sons, I say, of Reuben the
firstborn of Israel were, Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and
Carmi.
|
4 |
The sons of Joel; Shemai'ah his son, Gog
his son, Shim'e-i his son,
|
5 |
Micah his son, Re-ai'a his son, Ba'al his
son,
|
6 |
Be-e'rah his son, whom Til'gath-pilne'ser
king of Assyria carried away captive: 2 Kgs. 15.29 he was prince of the Reubenites.
|
7 |
And his brethren by their families, when
the genealogy of their generations was reckoned, were the
chief, Je-i'el, and Zechari'ah,
|
8 |
and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of
Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt in Aro'er, even unto Nebo and
Ba'al-me'on:
|
9 |
and eastward he inhabited unto the
entering in of the wilderness from the river Euphra'tes: because
their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gil'e-ad.
|
10 |
And in the days of Saul they made war
with the Ha'garites, who fell by their hand: and they dwelt in their
tents throughout all the east land of Gil'e-ad.
|
The Descendants of
Gad |
11 |
And the children of Gad dwelt over
against them, in the land of Bashan unto Salcah:
|
12 |
Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and
Ja'anai, and Shaphat in Bashan.
|
13 |
And their brethren of the house of their
fathers were, Michael, and Meshul'lam, and Sheba, and Jo'rai,
and Jachan, and Zi'a, and Heber, seven.
|
14 |
These are the children of Ab'ihail
the son of Huri, the son of Jaro'ah, the son of Gil'e-ad, the son of
Michael, the son of Jeshish'ai, the son of Jahdo, the son of
Buz;
|
15 |
Ahi the son of Ab'di-el, the son of Guni,
chief of the house of their fathers.
|
16 |
And they dwelt in Gil'e-ad in Bashan, and
in her towns, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, upon their
borders.
|
17 |
All these were reckoned by genealogies in
the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jerobo'am king
of Israel.
|
The History of the Two
and a Half Tribes |
18 |
The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites,
and half the tribe of Manas'seh, 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.
|
19 |
And they made war with the Ha'garites,
with Jetur, and Nephish, and Nodab.
|
20 |
And they were helped against them, and
the Ha'garites were delivered into their hand, and all that were with them: for they cried to God in the battle, and he
was entreated of them; because they put their trust in
him.
|
21 |
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 a hundred thousand.
|
22 |
For there fell down many slain, because
the war was of God. And they dwelt in their steads until the
captivity.
|
23 |
And the children of the half tribe of
Manas'seh dwelt in the land: they increased from Bashan unto
Ba'al-her'mon and Senir, and unto mount Hermon.
|
24 |
And these were the heads of the
house of their fathers, even Epher, and Ishi, and El'i-el, and
Az'ri-el, and Jeremiah, and Hodavi'ah, and Jah'di-el, mighty men of
valor, famous men, and heads of the house of their
fathers.
|
25 |
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.
|
26 |
And the God of Israel stirred up the
spirit of Pul 2 Kgs. 15.19 king of Assyria, and the spirit of Til'gath-pilne'ser 2 Kgs.
15.29 king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the
Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manas'seh, and
brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river
Gozan, unto this day. 2 Kgs. 17.6
