1 Chronicles 5

The descendants of Reuben

וּבְנֵי רְאוּבֵן בְּכֽוֹר-יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי הוּא הַבְּכוֹר וּֽבְחַלְּלוֹ יְצוּעֵי אָבִיו נִתְּנָה בְּכֹרָתוֹ לִבְנֵי יוֹסֵף בֶּן-יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלֹא לְהִתְיַחֵשׂ לַבְּכֹרָֽה׃
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.
כִּי יְהוּדָה גָּבַר בְּאֶחָיו וּלְנָגִיד מִמֶּנּוּ וְהַבְּכֹרָה לְיוֹסֵֽף׃
2
For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph's:)
בְּנֵי רְאוּבֵן בְּכוֹר יִשְׂרָאֵל חֲנוֹךְ וּפַלּוּא חֶצְרוֹן וְכַרְמִֽי׃
3
The sons, I say, of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were, Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
בְּנֵי יוֹאֵל שְׁמַֽעְיָה בְנוֹ גּוֹג בְּנוֹ שִׁמְעִי בְנֽוֹ׃
4
The sons of Joel; Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
מִיכָה בְנוֹ רְאָיָה בְנוֹ בַּעַל בְּנֽוֹ׃
5
Micah his son, Reaia his son, Baal his son,
בְּאֵרָה בְנוֹ אֲשֶׁר הֶגְלָה תִּלְּגַת פִּלְנְאֶסֶר מֶלֶךְ אַשֻּׁר הוּא נָשִׂיא לָרֽאוּבֵנִֽי׃
6
Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.
וְאֶחָיו לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָיו בְּהִתְיַחֵשׂ לְתֹֽלְדוֹתָם הָרֹאשׁ יְעִיאֵל וּזְכַרְיָֽהוּ׃
7
And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was reckoned, were the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,
וּבֶלַע בֶּן-עָזָז בֶּן-שֶׁמַע בֶּן-יוֹאֵל הוּא יוֹשֵׁב בַּֽעֲרֹעֵר וְעַד-נְבוֹ וּבַעַל מְעֽוֹן׃
8
And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baal-meon:
וְלַמִּזְרָח יָשַׁב עַד-לְבוֹא מִדְבָּרָה לְמִן-הַנָּהָר פְּרָת כִּי מִקְנֵיהֶם רָבוּ בְּאֶרֶץ גִּלְעָֽד׃
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.
וּבִימֵי שָׁאוּל עָשׂוּ מִלְחָמָה עִם-הַֽהַגְרִאִים וַֽיִּפְּלוּ בְּיָדָם וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ בְּאָהֳלֵיהֶם עַֽל-כָּל-פְּנֵי מִזְרָח לַגִּלְעָֽד׃
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.

The descendants of Gad

וּבְנֵי-גָד לְנֶגְדָּם יָֽשְׁבוּ בְּאֶרֶץ הַבָּשָׁן עַד-סַלְכָֽה׃
11
And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in the land of Bashan unto Salchah:
יוֹאֵל הָרֹאשׁ וְשָׁפָם הַמִּשְׁנֶה וְיַעְנַי וְשָׁפָט בַּבָּשָֽׁן׃
12
Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat in Bashan.
וַֽאֲחֵיהֶם לְבֵית אֲבֽוֹתֵיהֶם מִֽיכָאֵל וּמְשֻׁלָּם וְשֶׁבַע וְיוֹרַי וְיַעְכָּן וְזִיעַ וָעֵבֶר שִׁבְעָֽה׃
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.
אֵלֶּה׀ בְּנֵי אֲבִיחַיִל בֶּן-חוּרִי בֶּן-יָרוֹחַ בֶּן-גִּלְעָד בֶּן-מִֽיכָאֵל בֶּן-יְשִׁישַׁי בֶּן-יַחְדּוֹ בֶּן-בּֽוּז׃
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;
אֲחִי בֶּן-עַבְדִּיאֵל בֶּן-גּוּנִי רֹאשׁ לְבֵית אֲבוֹתָֽם׃
15
Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the house of their fathers.
וַיֵּשְׁבוּ בַּגִּלְעָד בַּבָּשָׁן וּבִבְנֹתֶיהָ וּבְכָֽל-מִגְרְשֵׁי שָׁרוֹן עַל-תּֽוֹצְאוֹתָֽם׃
16
And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in her towns, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, upon their borders.
כֻּלָּם הִתְיַחְשׂוּ בִּימֵי יוֹתָם מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה וּבִימֵי יָֽרָבְעָם מֶֽלֶךְ-יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
17
All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

The war of the eastern tribes against the Hagarites

בְּנֵֽי-רְאוּבֵן וְגָדִי וַֽחֲצִי שֵֽׁבֶט-מְנַשֶּׁה מִן-בְּנֵי-חַיִל אֲנָשִׁים נֹֽשְׂאֵי מָגֵן וְחֶרֶב וְדֹרְכֵי קֶשֶׁת וּלְמוּדֵי מִלְחָמָה אַרְבָּעִים וְאַרְבָּעָה אֶלֶף וּשְׁבַע-מֵאוֹת וְשִׁשִּׁים יֹֽצְאֵי צָבָֽא׃
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.
וַיַּֽעֲשׂוּ מִלְחָמָה עִם-הַֽהַגְרִיאִים וִיטוּר וְנָפִישׁ וְנוֹדָֽב׃
19
And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Nephish, and Nodab.
וַיֵּעָֽזְרוּ עֲלֵיהֶם וַיִּנָּֽתְנוּ בְיָדָם הַֽהַגְרִיאִים וְכֹל שֶׁעִמָּהֶם כִּי לֵֽאלֹהִים זָֽעֲקוּ בַּמִּלְחָמָה וְנַעְתּוֹר לָהֶם כִּי-בָטְחוּ בֽוֹ׃
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.
וַיִּשְׁבּוּ מִקְנֵיהֶם גְּֽמַלֵּיהֶם חֲמִשִּׁים אֶלֶף וְצֹאן מָאתַיִם וַֽחֲמִשִּׁים אֶלֶף וַֽחֲמוֹרִים אַלְפָּיִם וְנֶפֶשׁ אָדָם מֵאָה אָֽלֶף׃
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.
כִּֽי-חֲלָלִים רַבִּים נָפָלוּ כִּי מֵהָֽאֱלֹהִים הַמִּלְחָמָה וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ תַחְתֵּיהֶם עַד-הַגֹּלָֽה׃
22
For there fell down many slain, because the war was of God. And they dwelt in their steads until the captivity.

The half tribe of Manasseh and the Assyrian exile

וּבְנֵי חֲצִי שֵׁבֶט מְנַשֶּׁה יָֽשְׁבוּ בָּאָרֶץ מִבָּשָׁן עַד-בַּעַל חֶרְמוֹן וּשְׂנִיר וְהַר-חֶרְמוֹן הֵמָּה רָבֽוּ׃
23
And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land: they increased from Bashan unto Baal-hermon and Senir, and unto mount Hermon.
וְאֵלֶּה רָאשֵׁי בֵית-אֲבוֹתָם וְעֵפֶר וְיִשְׁעִי וֶֽאֱלִיאֵל וְעַזְרִיאֵל וְיִרְמְיָה וְהֽוֹדַוְיָה וְיַחְדִּיאֵל אֲנָשִׁים גִּבּוֹרֵי חַיִל אַנְשֵׁי שֵׁמוֹת רָאשִׁים לְבֵית אֲבוֹתָֽם׃
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.
וַיִּֽמְעֲלוּ בֵּֽאלֹהֵי אֲבֹתֵיהֶם וַיִּזְנוּ אַֽחֲרֵי אֱלֹהֵי עַמֵּי-הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר-הִשְׁמִיד אֱלֹהִים מִפְּנֵיהֶֽם׃
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.
וַיָּעַר אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת-רוּחַ׀ פּוּל מֶֽלֶךְ-אַשּׁוּר וְאֶת-רוּחַ תִּלְּגַת פִּלְנֶסֶר מֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר וַיַּגְלֵם לָרֽאוּבֵנִי וְלַגָּדִי וְלַֽחֲצִי שֵׁבֶט מְנַשֶּׁה וַיְבִיאֵם לַחְלַח וְחָבוֹר וְהָרָא וּנְהַר גּוֹזָן עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
26
And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgath-pilneser 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.
