39 And they went to the entrance
of Gedor, even unto the east side of the valley, to
seek pasture for their flocks.
40
And they found fat pasture and good, and the land was
wide, and quiet, and peaceable; for they of Ham had dwelt there of old.
41
And these written by name came in the days of Hezekiah
king of Judah, and smote their tents, and the habitations
that were found there, and destroyed them utterly unto this day, and dwelt in
their rooms: because there was pasture there for their flocks.
42
And some of them, even of the sons of Simeon, five hundred
men, went to mount Seir, having for their captains Pelatiah, and Neariah, and

43
And they smote the rest of the Amalekites that were
escaped, and dwelt there unto this day.
1 ¶ 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.
2
For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came
the chief ruler; 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; Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei
his son,
5

And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy of
their generations was reckoned, were the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,
8
And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of
Joel, who dwelt in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baalmeon:
9 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.
10
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.
11
And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in the
land of Bashan unto Salchah:
12
Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and
Shaphat in Bashan.
13
And their brethren of the house of their fathers were,
Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan, and Zia, and Heber,
seven.
14
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 the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the house
of their fathers.
16
And they dwelt in Gilead 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 Jeroboam king of
Israel.
18 ¶ 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 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 Hagarites, with Jetur, and Nephish, and Nodab.
20
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.
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 an 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 Manasseh dwelt in
the land: they increased from Bashan unto Baalhermon and Senir, and unto mount Hermon.
24
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 valour, 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 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.
