1 Chronicles 5
1599 Geneva Bible
5 1 The birthright taken from Reuben and given to the sons of Joseph. 3 The genealogy of Reuben, 11 and Gad, 23 and of the half tribe of Manasseh.
1 The sons also of Reuben the eldest son of Israel (for he was the eldest, (A)but had defiled his father’s bed, therefore his birthright was given unto the [a]sons of Joseph the son of Israel, so that the genealogy is not reckoned after his birthright.
2 For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came [b]the prince, but the birthright was Joseph’s)
3 (B)The sons of Reuben the eldest son of Israel, were Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi.
4 The sons of Joel, Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, and Shimei his son,
5 Micah his son, Reaiah his son, and Baal his son,
6 Beerah his son: whom Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria [c]carried away, he was a prince of the Reubenites.
7 And when his brethren in their families reckoned the genealogy of their generations, Jeiel and Zechariah were the chief,
8 And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, which dwelt in [d]Aroer even unto Nebo and Baal Meon.
9 Also Eastward he inhabited unto the entering in of the wilderness from the river [e]Perath: for they had much cattle in the land of Gilead.
10 And in the days of Saul they warred with the [f]Hagrites, which fell by their hands: and they dwelt in their tents in all the East parts of Gilead.
11 ¶ And the children of Gad dwelt over against them in the land of Bashan, unto Salcah.
12 Joel was the chiefest, and Shapham the second, but Jaanai and Shaphat were in Bashan.
13 And their brethren of the house of their fathers were Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan, and Zia and Eber, seven.
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.
15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni was chief of the household of their fathers.
16 And they dwelt in Gilead in [g]Bashan, and in the towns thereof, and in all the suburbs of Sharon by their borders.
17 All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham King of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.
18 ¶ The sons of Reuben and of Gad, and of half the tribe of Manasseh of those that were valiant men, able to bear shield and sword, and to draw a bow exercised in war, were four and forty thousand, seven hundred and threescore, that went out to the war.
19 And they made war with the Hagrites, with [h]Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab.
20 And they were [i]helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all that were with them: for they cried to God in the battle, and he heard them, because they trusted in him.
21 And they led away their cattle, even their camels fifty thousand, and two hundred and fifty thousand sheep, and two thousand asses, and of [j]persons an hundred thousand.
22 For many fell down wounded, because the war was of God. And they dwelt in their steads until the [k]captivity.
23 And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land, from Bashan unto [l]Baal Hermon, and Senir, and unto mount Hermon: for they increased.
24 And these were the heads of the households of their fathers, even Epher and Ishi, and Eliel and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, strong men, valiant and famous, heads of the households of their fathers.
25 But they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went a whoring after the gods of the people of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.
26 And the God of Israel [m]stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria, and he carried them away: even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto (C)Halah and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this day.

Sons of Reuben
5 Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for (A)he was the firstborn, but because (B)he profaned his father’s bed, (C)his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel; so that he is not recorded in the genealogy according to the birthright. 2 (D)Though Judah prevailed over his brothers, and (E)from him came the ruler, yet the birthright belonged to Joseph),
3 (F)the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi.
4 The sons of Joel were Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, (G)Shimei his son,
5 Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
6 Beerah his son, whom [a]Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria took away into exile; he was leader of the Reubenites.
7 His [b]relatives by their families, (H)in the genealogy of their generations, were Jeiel the chief, then Zechariah, 8 and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who lived in (I)Aroer, even to Nebo and Baal-meon. 9 To the east he lived as far as the entrance of the wilderness from the river Euphrates, (J)because their cattle had increased in the land of Gilead. 10 In the days of Saul (K)they made war with the Hagrites, and they fell by their hand. So they lived in their tents throughout [c]all the land east of Gilead.
Sons of Gad
11 Now the sons of Gad lived opposite them in the land of (L)Bashan as far as (M)Salecah. 12 Joel was the chief and Shapham the second, then Janai and Shaphat in Bashan. 13 Their [d]relatives of their fathers’ households were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber, seven. 14 These were the sons 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;
15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was head of their fathers’ households. 16 They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and in its towns, and in all the pasture lands of (N)Sharon, as far as their [e]borders. 17 All of these were recorded in the genealogies in the days of (O)Jotham king of Judah and in the days of (P)Jeroboam king of Israel.
18 The sons of Reuben and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, consisting of men of valor, men who bore shield and sword and shot with bow and were learned in the ways of battle, were 44,760, who (Q)went out for military duty. 19 They made war against (R)the Hagrites, (S)Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab. 20 They were helped against them, and the Hagrites and all who were with them were given into their hand; for (T)they cried out to God in the battle, and He was moved by their entreaty because (U)they trusted in Him. 21 They took captive their cattle: their 50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, 2,000 donkeys; and 100,000 [f]men. 22 For many fell slain, because (V)the war was of God. And (W)they lived in their place until the (X)exile.
Sons of the Half-Tribe of Manasseh
23 Now the sons of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land; from Bashan to Baal-hermon and (Y)Senir and Mount Hermon they were numerous. 24 These were the heads of their fathers’ households, even Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valor, men of renown, heads of their fathers’ households.
25 But they (Z)acted unfaithfully against the God of their fathers and (AA)played the harlot (AB)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 (AC)Pul, king of Assyria, even the spirit of [g]Tilgath-pilneser, king of Assyria, and he (AD)took them away into exile, namely the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and to the river of Gozan, to this day.

Hoffnung für Alle
Die Nachkommen von Ruben
5 Dies ist ein Verzeichnis der Nachkommen von Ruben, dem ältesten Sohn von Israel. Ruben war der erste Sohn. Aber weil er mit einer Frau seines Vaters geschlafen hatte, musste er sein Erstgeburtsrecht an die Söhne seines Bruders Josef abtreten. Ruben ist deshalb in den Geschlechtsregistern nicht als der Älteste eingetragen. 2 Juda war der wichtigste Sohn von Israel, denn von ihm stammten die Könige ab. Doch das Erstgeburtsrecht kam Josef zu.
3 Die Söhne von Ruben, Israels ältestem Sohn, hießen Henoch, Pallu, Hezron und Karmi.
4 Die Nachkommen von Joel: Sein Sohn hieß Schemaja, und auf ihn folgten in direkter Linie Gog, Schimi, 5 Micha, Reaja, Baal 6 und Beera, der von Tiglat-Pileser, dem assyrischen König, in die Gefangenschaft geführt wurde. Er war das Oberhaupt des Stammes Ruben. 7 In den Geschlechtsregistern dieses Stammes waren folgende Männer mit ihren Sippen eingetragen: als erster Jeïël, dann Secharja 8 und Bela, der Sohn von Asa, Enkel von Schema und Urenkel von Joel.
Die Rubeniter wohnten im Gebiet von Aroër bis nach Nebo und Baal-Meon. 9 Gegen Osten breiteten sie sich bis zur Wüste aus, die beim Euphrat beginnt, denn in Gilead hatten sich ihre Herden sehr stark vermehrt.
10 Während König Sauls Regierungszeit führten sie Krieg gegen die Hagariter. Sie töteten sie und ließen sich dort nieder, wo die Hagariter gewohnt hatten. So gehörte nun das ganze Gebiet Ost-Gilead den Nachkommen von Ruben.
Die Nachkommen von Gad
11 Die Nachkommen von Gad wohnten in der Gegend von Baschan und Salcha, gegenüber dem Gebiet des Stammes Ruben: 12 Joel war das Oberhaupt, Schafam sein Stellvertreter; auch Janai und Schafat waren führende Männer. Sie alle wohnten mit ihren Sippen in Baschan. 13 Dazu kamen weitere sieben Männer mit ihren Sippen: Michael, Meschullam, Scheba, Jorai, Jakan, Sia und Eber. 14 Diese sieben waren die Söhne von Abihajil, der in direkter Linie von Huri, Jaroach, Gilead, Michael, Jeschischai, Jachdo und Bus abstammte. 15 Ahi, der Sohn von Abdiël und Enkel von Guni, war das Oberhaupt dieser Sippen.
16 Die Gaditer wohnten in den Städten der Gebiete Gilead und Baschan. Auch das ganze Weideland von Scharon bis hin zur Grenze gehörte ihnen. 17 Alle diese Sippen wurden zur Zeit der Könige Jotam von Juda und Jerobeam von Israel in das Stammesregister aufgenommen.
Der Krieg der Stämme im Ostjordanland
18 Die Stämme Ruben, Gad und der halbe Stamm Manasse hatten ein Heer von 44.760 Mann. Dazu gehörten alle wehrfähigen Männer, die mit Pfeil und Bogen, mit Schwert und Schild umgehen konnten und im Kampf geübt waren. 19 Sie führten Krieg gegen die hagaritischen Stämme, gegen Jetur, Nafisch und Nodab. 20 In der Schlacht schrien sie zu Gott um Hilfe. Weil sie ihm vertrauten, erhörte er ihr Gebet und gab ihnen den Sieg über die Hagariter und ihre Verbündeten. 21 Sie erbeuteten 50.000 Kamele, 250.000 Schafe und Ziegen sowie 2000 Esel und nahmen 100.000 Menschen gefangen. 22 In der Schlacht waren sehr viele Feinde gefallen, denn Gott selbst kämpfte für Israel. Die Israeliten wohnten in dem eroberten Gebiet, bis sie nach Assyrien verschleppt wurden.
Die Familien des halben Stammes Manasse
23 Die eine Hälfte des Stammes Manasse wohnte in einem Gebiet, das sich von Baschan bis zum Berg Hermon erstreckte[a]. Dieser halbe Stamm war sehr groß. 24 Die Oberhäupter seiner Sippen hießen: Efer, Jischi, Eliël, Asriël, Jirmeja, Hodawja und Jachdiël. Sie alle waren erfahrene Soldaten, Männer von Rang und Namen.
Die Oststämme werden in die Gefangenschaft geführt
25 Doch die Oststämme wurden dem Gott ihrer Vorfahren untreu. Sie liefen den Göttern der Völker nach, die er ihretwegen vertrieben hatte. 26 Darum ließ Gott den assyrischen König Tiglat-Pileser[b] gegen sie in den Krieg ziehen. Der führte die Rubeniter, die Gaditer und den halben Stamm Manasse in die Gefangenschaft. Er verschleppte sie nach Halach, an den Fluss Habor, nach Hara und an den Fluss von Gosan. Dort leben sie heute noch.
Der Stamm Levi: Die Linie der Hohenpriester
27 Die Söhne von Levi hießen Gerschon, Kehat und Merari. 28 Kehats Söhne waren Amram, Jizhar, Hebron und Usiël.
29 Amram hatte zwei Söhne, Aaron und Mose, und eine Tochter namens Mirjam. Aarons Söhne hießen Nadab, Abihu, Eleasar und Itamar.
30 Eleasars Sohn hieß Pinhas, dann folgten in direkter Linie Abischua, 31 Bukki, Usi, 32 Serachja, Merajot, 33 Amarja, Ahitub, 34 Zadok, Ahimaaz, 35 Asarja, Johanan 36 und Asarja. Asarja war der erste Hohepriester in dem Tempel, den Salomo in Jerusalem gebaut hatte. 37 Asarjas Sohn hieß Amarja, dann folgten in direkter Linie Ahitub, 38 Zadok, Schallum, 39 Hilkija, Asarja, 40 Seraja und Jozadak. 41 Als der Herr die Bewohner von Jerusalem und ganz Juda durch Nebukadnezar nach Babylonien verschleppen ließ, war auch Jozadak darunter.
1 Chronicles 5
New International Version
Reuben
5 The sons of Reuben(A) the firstborn of Israel (he was the firstborn, but when he defiled his father’s marriage bed,(B) his rights as firstborn were given to the sons of Joseph(C) son of Israel;(D) so he could not be listed in the genealogical record in accordance with his birthright,(E) 2 and though Judah(F) was the strongest of his brothers and a ruler(G) came from him, the rights of the firstborn(H) belonged to Joseph)— 3 the sons of Reuben(I) the firstborn of Israel:
Hanok, Pallu,(J) Hezron(K) and Karmi.
4 The descendants of Joel:
Shemaiah his son, Gog his son,
Shimei his son, 5 Micah his son,
Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
6 and Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-Pileser[a](L) king of Assyria took into exile. Beerah was a leader of the Reubenites.
7 Their relatives by clans,(M) listed according to their genealogical records:
Jeiel the chief, Zechariah, 8 and Bela son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel. They settled in the area from Aroer(N) to Nebo(O) and Baal Meon.(P) 9 To the east they occupied the land up to the edge of the desert that extends to the Euphrates(Q) River, because their livestock had increased in Gilead.(R)
10 During Saul’s reign they waged war against the Hagrites(S), who were defeated at their hands; they occupied the dwellings of the Hagrites throughout the entire region east of Gilead.
Gad
11 The Gadites(T) lived next to them in Bashan, as far as Salekah:(U)
12 Joel was the chief, Shapham the second, then Janai and Shaphat, in Bashan.
13 Their relatives, by families, were:
Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jakan, Zia and Eber—seven in all.
14 These were the sons of Abihail 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.
15 Ahi son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was head of their family.
16 The Gadites lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its outlying villages, and on all the pasturelands of Sharon as far as they extended.
17 All these were entered in the genealogical records during the reigns of Jotham(V) king of Judah and Jeroboam(W) king of Israel.
18 The Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 men ready for military service(X)—able-bodied men who could handle shield and sword, who could use a bow, and who were trained for battle. 19 They waged war against the Hagrites, Jetur,(Y) Naphish and Nodab. 20 They were helped(Z) in fighting them, and God delivered the Hagrites and all their allies into their hands, because they cried(AA) out to him during the battle. He answered their prayers, because they trusted(AB) in him. 21 They seized the livestock of the Hagrites—fifty thousand camels, two hundred fifty thousand sheep and two thousand donkeys. They also took one hundred thousand people captive, 22 and many others fell slain, because the battle(AC) was God’s. And they occupied the land until the exile.(AD)
The Half-Tribe of Manasseh
23 The people of the half-tribe of Manasseh(AE) were numerous; they settled in the land from Bashan to Baal Hermon, that is, to Senir (Mount Hermon).(AF)
24 These were the heads of their families: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah and Jahdiel. They were brave warriors, famous men, and heads of their families. 25 But they were unfaithful(AG) to the God of their ancestors and prostituted(AH) themselves to the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them. 26 So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit(AI) of Pul(AJ) king of Assyria (that is, Tiglath-Pileser(AK) king of Assyria), who took the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh into exile. He took them to Halah,(AL) Habor, Hara and the river of Gozan, where they are to this day.
