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.

5 Och Rubens söner, Israels förstföddes -- han var nämligen den förstfödde, men därför att han oskärade sin faders bädd, blev hans förstfödslorätt given åt Josefs, Israels sons, söner, dock icke så, att denne skulle upptagas i släktregistret såsom den förstfödde;
2 ty väl var Juda den mäktigaste bland sina bröder, och furste blev en av hans avkomlingar, men förstfödslorätten blev dock Josefs --
3 Rubens, Israels förstföddes, söner voro Hanok och Pallu, Hesron och Karmi.
4 Joels söner voro hans son Semaja, dennes son Gog, dennes son Simei,
5 dennes son Mika, dennes son Reaja, dennes son Baal,
6 så ock dennes son Beera, som Tillegat-Pilneeser, konungen i Assyrien, förde bort i fångenskap; han var hövding för rubeniterna.
7 Och hans bröder voro, efter sina släkter, när de upptecknades i släktregistret efter sin ättföljd: Jegiel, huvudmannen, Sakarja
8 och Bela, son till Asas, son till Sema, son till Joel; han bodde i Aroer, och hans boningsplatser nådde ända till Nebo och Baal-Meon.
9 Och österut nådde hans boningsplatser ända fram till öknen som sträcker sig ifrån floden Frat; ty de hade stora boskapshjordar i Gileads land.
10 Men i Sauls tid förde de krig mot hagariterna, och dessa föllo för deras hand; då bosatte de sig i deras hyddor utefter hela östra sidan av Gilead.
11 Och Gads barn hade sina boningsplatser gent emot dem i landet Basan ända till Salka:
12 Joel, huvudmannen, och Safam därnäst, och vidare Jaanai och Safat i Basan.
13 Och deras bröder voro, efter sina familjer, Mikael, Mesullam, Seba, Jorai, Jaekan, Sia och Eber, tillsammans sju.
14 Dessa voro söner till Abihail, son till Huri, son till Jaroa, son till Gilead, son till Mikael, son till Jesisai, son till Jado, son till Bus.
15 Men Ahi, son till Abdiel, son till Guni, var huvudman för deras familjer.
16 Och de bodde i Gilead i Basan och underlydande orter, så ock på alla Sarons utmarker, så långt de sträckte sig.
17 Alla dessa blevo upptecknade i släktregistret i Jotams, Juda konungs, och i Jerobeams, Israels konungs, tid.
18 Rubens barn och gaditerna och ena hälften av Manasse stam, de av dem, som voro krigsdugliga och buro sköld och svärd och spände båge och voro stridskunniga, utgjorde fyrtiofyra tusen sju hundra sextio stridbara män.
19 Och de förde krig mot hagariterna och mot Jetur, Nafis och Nodab.
20 Och seger beskärdes dem i striden mot dessa, så att hagariterna och alla som voro med dem blevo givna i deras hand; ty de ropade till Gud under striden, och han bönhörde dem, därför att de förtröstade på honom.
21 Och såsom byte förde de bort deras boskapshjordar, femtio tusen kameler, två hundra femtio tusen får och två tusen åsnor, så ock ett hundra tusen människor.
22 Ty många hade fallit slagna, eftersom striden var av Gud. Sedan bosatte de sig i deras land och bodde där ända till fångenskapen.
23 Halva Manasse stams barn bodde ock där i landet, från Basan ända till Baal-Hermon och Senir och Hermons berg, och de voro talrika.
24 Och dessa voro huvudmän för sina familjer: Efer, Jisei, Eliel, Asriel, Jeremia, Hodauja och Jadiel, tappra stridsmän, namnkunniga män, huvudmän för sina familjer.
25 Men de blevo otrogna mot sina fäders Gud, i det att de i trolös avfällighet lupo efter de gudar som dyrkades av de folk där i landet, som Gud hade förgjort för dem.
26 Då uppväckte Israels Gud den assyriske konungen Puls ande och den assyriske konungen Tillegat-Pilnesers ande och lät folket föras bort i fångenskap, såväl rubeniterna och gaditerna som ena hälften av Manasse stam, och lät dem komma till Hala, Habor, Hara och Gosans ström, där de äro ännu i dag.
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.
