1 Chronicles 5
Legacy Standard Bible
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.

La Bible du Semeur
Les descendants de Ruben
5 Ruben était le premier-né d’Israël, mais parce qu’il avait eu des relations sexuelles avec l’une des femmes de son père, son droit d’aînesse fut donné aux fils de Joseph, fils d’Israël ; ainsi Ruben ne fut pas recensé comme l’aîné[a]. 2 Juda fut puissant parmi ses frères, et de lui est issu le prince d’Israël, mais le droit d’aînesse appartenait à Joseph[b].
3 Fils de Ruben, premier-né d’Israël : Hénok, Pallou, Hetsrôn et Karmi. 4 Descendants de Joël, de père en fils : Shemaya, Gog, Shimeï ; 5 Michée, Reaya, Baal, 6 Beéra, un chef des Rubénites que Tiglath-Piléser[c], roi d’Assyrie, emmena en captivité[d]. 7 Les hommes apparentés à Beéra, cités par familles selon leurs listes généalogiques sont : le chef Yeïel, Zacharie, 8 Béla, fils d’Azaz, petit-fils de Shéma, le fils de Joël. Ces hommes habitaient à Aroër et dans le territoire qui va jusqu’au mont Nébo et Baal-Meôn. 9 A l’est, ils s’étaient implantés jusqu’à l’entrée du désert qui s’étend jusqu’à l’Euphrate, car leur cheptel était nombreux dans le pays de Galaad[e]. 10 Du temps de Saül, ils firent la guerre aux Agaréniens[f], qui furent vaincus par eux ; ils s’installèrent dans leurs habitations dans la partie orientale de Galaad.
Les descendants de Gad
11 Les descendants de Gad habitaient sur le plateau du Basan[g] et jusqu’à Salka. 12 Le groupe familial le plus important fut celui de Joël, puis, en deuxième, celui de Shapham, puis celui de Yaenaï et celui de Shaphath. 13 Il y avait à côté d’eux sept groupes familiaux : ceux de Michaël, Meshoullam, Shéba, Yoraï, Yaekan, Zia et Eber. 14 Ils étaient les fils d’Abihaïl, fils de Houri, dont les ascendants en ligne directe étaient Yaroah, Galaad, Michaël, Yeshishaï, Yahdo et Bouz. 15 Ahi, fils d’Abdiel et petit-fils de Gouni, était le chef de leurs groupes familiaux. 16 Ils habitaient en Galaad, en Basan et dans les localités qui en dépendent, ainsi que dans tous les pâturages du Sarôn jusqu’à leur extrême limite. 17 Ils furent tous recensés dans les généalogies, du temps de Yotam, roi de Juda, et du temps de Jéroboam, roi d’Israël[h].
18 Les membres des tribus de Ruben, de Gad et de la demi-tribu de Manassé avaient 44 760 hommes valeureux capables de manier le bouclier et l’épée, ou tirant à l’arc. Ils étaient exercés à la guerre et prêts à combattre. 19 Ils firent la guerre aux Agaréniens et à Yetour, Naphish et Nodab. 20 Dieu les secourut et leur donna la victoire sur les Agaréniens et tous leurs alliés, parce qu’ils l’en avaient imploré pendant la bataille. Il les exauça parce qu’ils lui avaient fait confiance. 21 Ils s’emparèrent de tout leur bétail, à savoir : 50 000 chameaux, 250 000 moutons et chèvres et 2 000 ânes ; de plus, ils firent 100 000 prisonniers. 22 Beaucoup d’ennemis furent aussi tués, car ce combat était entre les mains de Dieu. Ils s’installèrent à leur place et y demeurèrent jusqu’à l’exil.
Les descendants de Manassé
23 Les descendants de la demi-tribu de Manassé habitaient dans le pays qui allait du Basan à Baal-Hermon, Senir et la montagne de l’Hermon ; ils étaient nombreux. 24 Voici les noms des chefs de leurs groupes familiaux : Epher, Yisheï, Eliel, Azriel, Jérémie, Hodavia et Yahdiel ; ces chefs de leurs groupes familiaux étaient tous des hommes de guerre valeureux, des gens renommés.
25 Mais, par la suite, les descendants de ces tribus furent infidèles au Dieu de leurs ancêtres et se prostituèrent aux dieux des peuples du pays, que Dieu avait détruits devant eux.
26 C’est pourquoi le Dieu d’Israël incita le roi d’Assyrie Poul, c’est-à-dire Tiglath-Piléser[i] roi d’Assyrie, à déporter les membres des tribus de Ruben, de Gad et de la demi-tribu de Manassé : il les exila à Halah, Habor et Hara, et sur les rives du fleuve de Gozân, où ils sont demeurés jusqu’à ce jour[j].
Les descendants de Lévi
27 Fils de Lévi : Guershôn, Qehath et Merari. 28 Fils de Qehath : Amram, Yitsehar, Hébron et Ouzziel. 29 Enfants d’Amram : Aaron, Moïse et Miryam. Fils d’Aaron : Nadab, Abihou, Eléazar et Itamar. 30 Eléazar eut pour fils Phinéas dont les descendants en ligne directe de père en fils furent Abishoua, 31 Bouqqi, Ouzzi, 32 Zerahya, Merayoth, 33 Amaria, Ahitoub, 34 Tsadoq, Ahimaats, 35 Azaria, Yohanân, 36 Azaria qui exerça le sacerdoce dans le temple que Salomon avait bâti à Jérusalem. 37 Puis, toujours de père en fils : Amaria, Ahitoub, 38 Tsadoq, Shalloum, 39 Hilqiya, Azaria, 40 Seraya, Yehotsadaq. 41 Ce dernier partit en exil quand l’Eternel fit déporter la population de Juda et de Jérusalem par Nabuchodonosor.

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.
