\v 1 The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel—now Reuben was Israel's firstborn, but his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph son of Israel because Reuben had defiled his father's couch. So he is not recorded as being the oldest son.
|
|
\v 2 Judah was the strongest of his brothers, and the leader would come from him. But the birthright was Joseph's—
|
|
\v 3 the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel were Hanok, Pallu, Hezron, and Karmi.

\v 7 Beerah's relatives by their clans are the following, listed in their genealogical records: Jeiel the leader, Zechariah, and
|
|
\v 8 Bela son of Azaz son of Shema son of Joel. They lived in Aroer, as far as Nebo and Baal Meon,
|
|
\v 9 and eastward to the start of the wilderness that extends to the Euphrates River. This was because they had many cattle in the land of Gilead.
|
|

|
\v 10 In the days of Saul, the tribe of Reuben attacked the Hagrites and defeated them. They lived in the Hagrites' tents throughout all the land east of Gilead.

\v 11 The members of the tribe of Gad lived near them, in the land of Bashan as far as Salekah.

\v 18 The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 soldiers trained for war, who carried shield and sword, and who drew the bow.
|
|
\v 19 They attacked the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 20 They received divine help against them. In this way, the Hagrites and all who were with them were defeated. This was because the Israelites cried out to God in the battle, and he responded to them, because they put their trust in him.
|
|
\v 21 They captured their animals, including fifty thousand camels, 250,000 sheep, two thousand donkeys, and 100,000 men.
|

|

\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 25 But they were unfaithful to their ancestors' God. Instead, they worshiped the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.
|
|
\v 26 The God of Israel stirred up Pul king of Assyria (also called Tiglath-Pileser, king of Assyria). He took into exile the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh. He brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and to the river of Gozan, where they remain to this day.
