Genealogy from Reuben
5 Now the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel (for (A)he was the firstborn, but because (B)he defiled his father’s bed, (C)his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel; so he is not enrolled in the genealogy according to the birthright. 2 (D)Though Judah prevailed over his brothers, and (E)from him came the leader, yet the birthright belonged to Joseph), 3 (F)the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were Hanoch and Pallu, and 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 and Beerah his son, whom [a]Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria took into exile; he was leader of the Reubenites. 7 His 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, as far as Nebo and Baal-meon. 9 Toward the east he settled as far as the entrance of the wilderness from the river Euphrates, (J)because their livestock had increased in the land of Gilead. 10 In the days of Saul (K)they made war with the Hagrites, who fell by their hand, so that they [b]occupied their tents throughout the [c]land east of Gilead.
11 Now the sons of Gad lived opposite them in the land of (L)Bashan, as far as (M)Salecah. 12 Joel was the head and Shapham the second, then Janai and Shaphat in Bashan. 13 Their 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 [d]borders. 17 All of these were enrolled 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, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, consisting of valiant men, men who carried shield and sword and shot with a bow and were skillful in battle, totaled 44,760 who (Q)went to war. 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 handed over to them; for (T)they cried out to God in the battle, and He answered their prayers because (U)they trusted in Him. 21 They took away their livestock: their fifty thousand camels, 250,000 sheep, and two thousand donkeys; and a hundred thousand [e]people. 22 For many fell mortally wounded, because (V)the war was of God. And (W)they settled in their place until the (X)exile.
23 Now the sons of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land; from Bashan to Baal-hermon, (Y)Senir, and Mount Hermon they were numerous. 24 These were the heads of their fathers’ households: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, valiant mighty men, famous men, heads of their fathers’ households.
25 But they were (Z)untrue to the God of their fathers and (AA)prostituted themselves (AB)with 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, that is, the spirit of [f]Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria, and he (AD)took them 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, where they are to this day.

Descendants of Reuben
5 The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel ((A)for he was the firstborn, but because (B)he defiled his father's couch, (C)his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel, so that he could not be enrolled as the oldest son; 2 (D)though Judah became strong among his brothers and a (E)chief came from him, yet the birthright belonged to Joseph), 3 the (F)sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. 4 The sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son, 5 Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son, 6 Beerah his son, whom (G)Tiglath-pileser[a] king of Assyria carried away into exile; he was a chief of the Reubenites. 7 And his kinsmen by their clans, (H)when the genealogy of their generations was recorded: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah, 8 and Bela the son of Azaz, son of (I)Shema, son of Joel, who lived in (J)Aroer, as far as (K)Nebo and (L)Baal-meon. 9 He also lived to the east as far as the entrance of the desert this side of the Euphrates, because their livestock had multiplied (M)in the land of Gilead. 10 And in the days of Saul they waged war against the (N)Hagrites, who fell into their hand. And they lived in their tents throughout all the region east of Gilead.
Descendants of Gad
11 The sons of Gad lived over against them in the land of Bashan as far as (O)Salecah: 12 Joel the chief, Shapham the second, Janai, and Shaphat in Bashan. 13 And their kinsmen according to their fathers' houses: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia and Eber, seven. 14 These were the sons of Abihail the son of Huri, son of Jaroah, son of Gilead, son of Michael, son of Jeshishai, son of Jahdo, son of Buz. 15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, son of Guni, was chief in their fathers' houses, 16 and they lived in Gilead, in Bashan and in its towns, and in all the pasturelands of (P)Sharon to their limits. 17 All of these were recorded in genealogies in the days of (Q)Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of (R)Jeroboam king of Israel.
18 The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had valiant men who carried shield and sword, and drew the bow, (S)expert in war, 44,760, able to go to war. 19 They waged war against the (T)Hagrites, (U)Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab. 20 And when they prevailed[b] over them, the Hagrites and all who were with them were given into their hands, (V)for they cried out to God in the battle, and he granted their urgent plea (W)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 (X)in their place until (Y)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, (Z)Senir, and Mount Hermon. 24 These were the heads of their fathers' houses: Epher,[c] 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 (AA)whored (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, the spirit of (AD)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 (AE)to Halah, (AF)Habor, Hara, and (AG)the river Gozan, to this day.

Descendientes de Rubén
5 Descendencia de Rubén, primogénito de Israel.
Rubén era el primogénito, pero en la genealogía no fue reconocido como tal por haber profanado el lecho de su padre.[a] Su derecho de primogenitura pasó a los hijos de José, hijo de Israel. 2 Y aunque es verdad que Judá fue más poderoso que sus hermanos, y hasta llegó a ser su gobernante, la primogenitura pasó a José. 3 Estos fueron los hijos de Rubén, primogénito de Israel:
Janoc, Falú, Jezrón y Carmí.
4 Los descendientes de Joel en línea directa:
Semaías, Gog,
Simí, 5 Micaías,
Reaías, Baal
6 y Beerá, jefe de los rubenitas. A este último se lo llevó cautivo Tiglat Piléser, rey de Asiria.
7 Estos fueron los parientes de Beerá, según los registros genealógicos de sus familias:
Jeyel el jefe, Zacarías 8 y Bela, hijo de Azaz, hijo de Semá, hijo de Joel.
Bela habitó en Aroer, y su territorio se extendía hasta Nebo y Baal Megón. 9 Por el oriente se extendía hasta el borde del desierto que colinda con el río Éufrates, pues sus ganados aumentaron mucho en la tierra de Galaad.
10 En el tiempo de Saúl le declararon la guerra a los agarenos. Los derrotaron y se establecieron en la región oriental de Galaad.
Descendientes de Gad
11 Estos fueron los hijos de Gad que habitaron frente a los rubenitas en la región de Basán, hasta llegar a Salcá:
12 Joel fue el jefe en Basán; el segundo, Safán; luego, Janay y Safat.
13 Sus parientes, según las familias patriarcales, fueron siete en total:
Micael, Mesulán, Sabá, Joray, Jacán, Zía y Éber.
14 Estos fueron los hijos de Abijaíl, hijo de Jurí, hijo de Jaroa, hijo de Galaad, hijo de Micael, hijo de Jesisay, hijo de Yadó, hijo de Buz.
15 El jefe de sus familias era Ají, hijo de Abdiel y nieto de Guní.
16 Estos habitaron en Galaad, en Basán y sus aldeas, y en todos los campos de pastoreo de Sarón, hasta sus confines.
17 La genealogía de ellos se registró en el tiempo de Jotán, rey de Judá, y de Jeroboán, rey de Israel.
18 Los rubenitas, los gaditas y los de la media tribu de Manasés contaban con un ejército de cuarenta y cuatro mil setecientos sesenta hombres valientes, armados de escudo y de espada, hábiles en el manejo del arco y diestros en la guerra. 19 Combatieron a los agarenos y a Jetur, Nafis y Nodab. 20 Y como confiaban en Dios, clamaron a él en medio del combate y él los ayudó a derrotar a los agarenos y a sus aliados. 21 Se apoderaron de su ganado (cincuenta mil camellos, doscientas cincuenta mil ovejas y dos mil burros) y capturaron a cien mil personas, 22 a muchas de las cuales mataron, porque Dios estaba con ellos. En ese lugar habitaron hasta el tiempo del exilio.
La media tribu de Manasés
23 Los hijos de la media tribu de Manasés eran numerosos y se establecieron en el país, desde Basán hasta Baal Hermón, Senir y el monte Hermón.
24 Los jefes de sus familias patriarcales fueron Éfer, Isí, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremías, Hodavías y Yadiel. Todos ellos eran guerreros valientes, hombres importantes y jefes de sus respectivas familias patriarcales. 25 Pero fueron infieles al Dios de sus antepasados, pues se prostituyeron al adorar a los dioses de los pueblos de la región, a los cuales Dios había destruido delante de ellos. 26 Por eso el Dios de Israel incitó contra ellos a Pul, es decir, a Tiglat Piléser, rey de Asiria. Este deportó a los rubenitas, los gaditas y a la media tribu de Manasés, llevándolos a Jalaj, Jabor, Hará y al río Gozán, donde permanecen hasta hoy.
