Sons of Reuben

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. (D)Though Judah prevailed over his brothers, and (E)from him came the ruler, yet the birthright belonged to Joseph),

(F)the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi.
The sons of Joel were Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, (G)Shimei his son,
Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
Beerah his son, whom [a]Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria took away into exile; he was leader of the Reubenites.

His [b]relatives by their families, (H)in the genealogy of their generations, were Jeiel the chief, then Zechariah, 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. 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.

Reuben

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) 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)— the sons of Reuben(I) the firstborn of Israel:

Hanok, Pallu,(J) Hezron(K) and Karmi.

The descendants of Joel:

Shemaiah his son, Gog his son,

Shimei his son, Micah his son,

Reaiah his son, Baal his son,

and Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-Pileser[a](L) king of Assyria took into exile. Beerah was a leader of the Reubenites.

Their relatives by clans,(M) listed according to their genealogical records:

Jeiel the chief, Zechariah, 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) 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.

Descendientes de Rubén

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. Y aunque es verdad que Judá fue más poderoso que sus hermanos, y hasta llegó a ser su gobernante, la primogenitura pasó a José. Estos fueron los hijos de Rubén, primogénito de Israel:

Janoc, Falú, Jezrón y Carmí.

Los descendientes de Joel en línea directa:

Semaías, Gog,

Simí, Micaías,

Reaías, Baal

y Beerá, jefe de los rubenitas. A este último se lo llevó cautivo Tiglat Piléser, rey de Asiria.

Estos fueron los parientes de Beerá, según los registros genealógicos de sus familias:

Jeyel el jefe, Zacarías 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. 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.
