1 Chronicles 5:18-26

English Standard Version

¹⁸ The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had valiant men who carried shield and sword, and drew the bow, ^(A)expert in war, 44,760, able to go to war. ¹⁹ They waged war against the ^(B)Hagrites, ^(C)Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab. ²⁰ And when they prevailed^[a] over them, the Hagrites and all who were with them were given into their hands, ^(D)for they cried out to God in the battle, and he granted their urgent plea ^(E)because they trusted in him. ²¹ They carried off their livestock: 50,000 of their camels, 250,000 sheep, 2,000 donkeys, and 100,000 men alive. ²² For many fell, because the war was of God. And they lived ^(F)in their place until ^(G)the exile.

The Half-Tribe of Manasseh

²³ The members of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land. They were very numerous from Bashan to Baal-hermon, ^(H)Senir, and Mount Hermon. ²⁴ These were the heads of their fathers' houses: Epher,^[b] Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty warriors, famous men, heads of their fathers' houses. ²⁵ But they broke faith with the God of their fathers, and ^(I)whored ^(J)after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them. ²⁶ So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of ^(K)Pul king of Assyria, the spirit of ^(L)Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and he took them into exile, namely, the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them ^(M)to Halah, ^(N)Habor, Hara, and ^(O)the river Gozan, to this day.
