1 Chronicles 5:17-26

1 Chronicles 5:17-26 CSB

All of them were registered in the genealogies during the reigns of Judah’s King Jotham  and Israel’s King Jeroboam.  The descendants of Reuben and Gad and half the tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 warriors who could serve  in the army — men who carried shield and sword, drew the bow, and were trained for war. They waged war against the Hagrites,  Jetur,  Naphish, and Nodab. They received help against these enemies because they cried out to God in battle, and the Hagrites and all their allies were handed over to them.  He was receptive to their prayer because they trusted in him.  They captured the Hagrites’ livestock — fifty thousand of their camels, two hundred fifty thousand sheep, and two thousand donkeys — as well as one hundred thousand people. Many of the Hagrites were killed because it was God’s battle.  And they lived there in the Hagrites’ place  until the exile.  The descendants of half the tribe of Manasseh settled in the land from Bashan to Baal-hermon (that is, Senir  or Mount Hermon); they were numerous. These were the heads of their ancestral families: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were valiant warriors, famous men, and heads of their ancestral houses. But they were unfaithful to the God of their ancestors. They prostituted themselves  with the gods of the nations  God had destroyed before them.  So the God of Israel roused the spirit of King Pul  (that is, Tiglath-pileser  ) of Assyria, and he took the Reubenites, Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh into exile. He took them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and Gozan’s river, where they are until today.
