1 Chronicles 5:24-26
New English Translation

24 These were the leaders of their families:[a]

Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were skilled warriors, men of reputation,[b] and leaders of their families. 25 But they were unfaithful to the God of their ancestors[c] and worshiped instead[d] the gods of the native peoples[e] whom God had destroyed before them. 26 So the God of Israel stirred up[f] King Pul of Assyria (that is, King Tiglath-Pileser of Assyria),[g] and he carried away the Reubenites, Gadites, and half-tribe of Manasseh and took them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan, where they remain to this very day.
