Reading
1 Chronicles 5:1—8:40
1The
sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for he was the firstborn, but
because he defiled his father’s couch, his birthright was given to
the sons of Joseph the son of Israel, so that he could not be
enrolled as the oldest son; 2though Judah became strong
among his brothers and a chief came from him, yet the birthright
belonged to Joseph), 3the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of
Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. 4The sons of
Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son, 5Micah
his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son, 6Beerah his son,
whom Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria carried away into exile; he was
a chief of the Reubenites. 7And his kinsmen by their
clans, when the genealogy of their generations was recorded: the
chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah, 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.
26So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king
of Assyria, the spirit of Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and he
took them into exile, namely, the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the
half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and
the river Gozan, to this day.
