Dual Panel1The sons <01121> of Reuben <07205>, Israel’s <03478> firstborn <01060>– (Now he <01931> was the firstborn <01060>, but when he defiled <02490> his father’s <01> bed <03326>, his rights <01062> as firstborn <01062> were given <05414> to the sons <01121> of Joseph <03130>, Israel’s <03478> son <01121>. So Reuben is not <03808> listed <03187> as firstborn <01062> in the genealogical records <03187>.
2Though <03588> Judah <03063> was the strongest <01396> among his brothers <0251> and a leader <05057> descended from <04480> him, the right of the firstborn <01062> belonged to Joseph <03130>.)
3The sons <01121> of Reuben <07205>, Israel’s <03478> firstborn <01060>: Hanoch <02585>, Pallu <06396>, Hezron <02696>, and Carmi <03756>.
4The descendants <01121> of Joel <03100>: His son <01121> Shemaiah <08098>, his son <01121> Gog <01463>, his son <01121> Shimei <08096>,

6and his son <01121> Beerah <0880>, whom <0834> King <04428> Tiglath-pileser <08407> of Assyria <0804> carried into exile <01540>. Beerah was the tribal leader <05387> of Reuben <07206>.
7His brothers <0251> by their clans <04940>, as listed in their genealogical records <08435> <03187>: The leader <07218> Jeiel <03273>, Zechariah <02148>,
8and Bela <01106> son <01121> of Azaz <05811>, son <01121> of Shema <08087>, son <01121> of Joel <03100>. They <01931> lived <03427> in Aroer <06177> as far as <05704> Nebo <05015> and Baal Meon <01186>.
9In the east <04217> they settled <03427> as far <05704> as the entrance <0935> to the desert <04057> that stretches to <04480> the Euphrates <06578> River <05104>, for <03588> their cattle <04735> had increased <07235> in numbers in the land <0776> of Gilead <01568>.
10During the time <03117> of Saul <07586> they attacked <04421> <06213> the Hagrites <01905> and defeated <05307> them. They took over <03427> their territory <0168> in <05921> the entire <03605> eastern <04217> region of Gilead <01568>.
11The descendants <01121> of Gad <01410> lived <03427> near <05048> them in the land <0776> of Bashan <01316>, as far <05704> as Salecah <05548>.
12They included Joel <03100> the leader <07218>, Shapham <08223> the second <04932> in command, Janai <03285>, and Shaphat <08202> in Bashan <01316>.
13Their relatives <0251>, listed according to their families <01> <01004>, included Michael <04317>, Meshullam <04918>, Sheba <07652>, Jorai <03140>, Jacan <03275>, Zia <02127>, and Eber <05677>– seven <07651> in all.
14These <0428> were the sons <01121> of Abihail <032> son <01121> of Huri <02359>, son <01121> of Jaroah <03386>, son <01121> of Gilead <01568>, son <01121> of Michael <04317>, son <01121> of Jeshishai <03454>, son <01121> of Jahdo <03163>, son <01121> of Buz <0938>.
15Ahi <0277> son <01121> of Abdiel <05661>, son <01121> of Guni <01476>, was the leader <07218> of the family <01> <01004>.
16They lived <03427> in Gilead <01568>, in Bashan <01316> and its surrounding <01323> settlements, and in the pasturelands <04054> of Sharon <08289> to <05921> their very borders <08444>.
17All <03605> of them were listed in the genealogical records <03187> in the time <03117> of King <04428> Jotham <03147> of Judah <03063> and in the time <03117> of King <04428> Jeroboam <03379> of Israel <03478>.
18The Reubenites <07205> <01121>, Gadites <01425>, and the half-tribe <07626> <02677> of Manasseh <04519> had 44,760 <08346> <03967> <07651> <0505> <0702> <0705> men <0582> in <04480> their combined armies, warriors <02428> <01121> who carried <05375> shields <04043> and swords <02719>, were equipped <01869> with bows <07198>, and were trained <03925> for war <04421>.
19They attacked <04421> <06213> the Hagrites <01905>, Jetur <03195>, Naphish <05305>, and Nodab <05114>.
20They received <05826> divine help <05826> in <05921> fighting them, and the Hagrites <01905> and all <03605> their allies were handed over <03027> <05414> to <05973> them. They cried out <02199> to God <0430> during the battle <04421>; he responded <06279> to their prayers <06279> because <03588> they trusted <0982> in him.
21They seized <07617> the Hagrites’ animals <04735>, including 50,000 <0505> <02572> camels <01581>, 250,000 <0505> <02572> <03967> sheep <06629>, and 2,000 <0505> donkeys <02543>. They also took captive 100,000 <0505> <03967> people <0120> <05315>.
22Because <03588> God <0430> fought for them, they killed <02491> many <07227> of the enemy. They dispossessed <05307> the Hagrites <04421> and lived <03427> in their land <08478> until <05704> the exile <01473>.
23The half-tribe <07626> <02677> <01121> of Manasseh <04519> settled <03427> in the land <0776> from Bashan <01316> as far as <05704> Baal Hermon <01179>, Senir <08149>, and Mount <02022> Hermon <02768>. They <01992> grew in number <07235>.
24These <0428> were the leaders <07218> of their families <01> <01004>: Epher <06081>, Ishi <03469>, Eliel <0447>, Azriel <05837>, Jeremiah <03414>, Hodaviah <01938>, and Jahdiel <03164>. They were skilled warriors <02428>, warriors <01368>, men <0376> of reputation <08034>, and leaders <07218> of their families <01>.
25But they were unfaithful <04603> to the God <0430> of their ancestors <01> and worshiped <02181> instead <0310> the gods <0430> of the native <0776> peoples <05971> whom <0834> God <0430> had destroyed <08045> before <06440> them.
26So the God <0430> of Israel <03478> stirred up <05782> King <04428> Pul <06322> of Assyria <0804> (that is, King <04428> Tiglath-pileser <08407> of Assyria <0804>), and he carried away <01540> the Reubenites <07206>, Gadites <01425>, and half-tribe <07626> <02677> of Manasseh <04519> and took <0935> them to Halah <02477>, Habor <02249>, Hara <02024>, and the river <05104> of Gozan <01470>, where they remain to <05704> this <02088> very day <03117>.
