A descendência de Rúben
5 O filho mais velho de Israel foi Rúben, mas a partir do momento em que desonrou o pai, deitando-se com uma das mulheres dele, o seu direito de primogénito foi dado aos descendentes de José, filho de Israel. É por essa razão que a genealogia oficial não indica Rúben como filho mais velho. 2 José recebeu pois esse direito, contudo foi Judá que se tornou a tribo mais poderosa e influente em Israel; dela provém um príncipe. 3 Os filhos de Rúben, filho de Israel, foram:
Enoque, Palu, Hezrom e Carmi.
4 Os descendentes de Joel foram o seu filho
Semaías, o seu neto Gogue e o seu bisneto Semei.
5 O filho de Simei foi Mica;
o seu neto Reaías e o seu bisneto Baal.
6 O filho de Baal chamou-se Beera. Foi príncipe da tribo de Rúben e levado cativo pelo rei Tiglate-Pileser da Assíria.
7 Os seus parentes tornaram-se cabeças de famílias e foram incluídos nas genealogias oficiais: Jeiel, Zacarias, 8 Bela, filho de Azaz, neto de Sema e bisneto de Joel.
Estes rubenitas viveram em toda aquela área desde Aroer até junto do monte Nebo e de Baal-Meom. 9 Joel foi criador de gado, deixando os seus animais pastarem para as bandas do oriente, até ao limite do deserto, junto do rio Eufrates, porque havia muito gado na terra de Gileade.
10 Durante o tempo do rei Saul, os homens de Rúben derrotaram os hagarenos numa guerra e ocuparam as suas habitações até ao limite oriental de Gileade.
A descendência de Gad
11 Defronte deles, na terra de Basã, viviam os descendentes de Gad, que se estenderam até Salca.
12 Joel foi o maior, seguido de Safã e também de Janai e de Safate, que estavam em Basã.
13 Os seus irmãos, cabeças de sete famílias, foram
Micael, Mesulão, Seba, Jorai, Jacã, Zia e Eber.
14 Os descendentes de Buz, na ordem das suas gerações, foram: Jado, Jesisai, Micael, Gileade, Jaroa, Huri e Abiail.
15 Aí, filho de Abdiel e neto de Guni, foi o líder da família.
16 Esse clã viveu em Gileade, na terra de Basã e nas suas vizinhanças, ocupando toda a região de pastagens de Sarom, até aos seus limites.
17 Todos foram incluídos na genealogia oficial, no tempo do rei Jotão de Judá e de Jeroboão, rei de Israel.
18 O exército formado pelas tropas de Rúben e de Gad e da meia tribo de Manassés era constituído por 44 760 homens armados, bem treinados e corajosos. 19 Declararam guerra aos hagarenos, assim como aos homens de Jetur, de Nafis e de Nodabe. 20 Clamaram a Deus que os ajudasse e Deus respondeu-lhes, porque confiaram nele. Por essa razão, foram derrotados os hagarenos e todos os seus aliados. 21 Ao todo, isso rendeu-lhes 50 000 camelos, 250 000 ovelhas, 2000 burros e 100 000 prisioneiros. 22 Um grande número dos inimigos morreu em combate, porque Deus combatera por eles. Dessa forma, os rubenitas passaram a habitar nesse território dos hagarenos, até ao tempo em que foram levados para o exílio.
A meia tribo de Manassés
23 A meia tribo de Manassés espalhou-se pela terra de Basã até Baal-Hermon, Senir e ao monte Hermon. Era também muito numerosa.
24 Os líderes dos seus clãs foram os seguintes: Efer, Isi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremias, Hodavias e Jadiel. Cada um destes homens tinha grande reputação como guerreiro e como líder. 25 Mas não foram fiéis ao Deus dos seus antepassados, pois prestaram culto aos ídolos dos povos que Deus tinha destruído. 26 Essa foi a razão por que o Deus de Israel fez com que o rei Pul da Assíria, também conhecido como Tiglate-Pileser III, invadisse a sua terra e deportasse os homens de Rúben, de Gad e da meia tribo de Manassés. Levaram-nos para Hala, Habor, Hara e para o rio Gozã, onde ficaram até hoje.
1 Chronicles 5
American Standard Version
5 And the sons of Reuben the first-born of Israel (for he was the first-born; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father’s couch, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel; and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright. 2 For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the [a]prince; but the birthright was Joseph’s), 3 the sons of Reuben the first-born of Israel: Hanoch, and 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 [b]Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites. 7 And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was reckoned: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah, 8 and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baal-meon: 9 and eastward he dwelt even unto the entrance of the wilderness from the river Euphrates, because their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead. 10 And in the days of Saul, they made war with the Hagrites, who fell by their hand; and they dwelt in their tents throughout all the land east of Gilead.
11 And the sons of Gad dwelt over against them, in the land of Bashan unto Salecah: 12 Joel the chief, and Shapham the second, and Janai, and Shaphat in Bashan. 13 And their brethren of their fathers’ houses: Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jacan, and 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, chief of their fathers’ houses. 16 And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in its [c]towns, and in all the [d]suburbs of Sharon, as far as their [e]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 the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with bow, and skilful in war, were forty and four thousand seven hundred and threescore, that were able to go forth to war. 19 And they made war with the Hagrites, with Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab. 20 And they were 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 was entreated of them, because they put their trust in him. 21 And they took away their cattle; of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and of asses two thousand, and of [f]men a hundred thousand. 22 For there fell many slain, because the war was of God. And they dwelt in their stead until the captivity.
23 And the children of the half-tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land: they increased from Bashan unto Baal-hermon and Senir and mount Hermon. 24 And these were the heads of their fathers’ houses: even Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valor, famous men, heads of their fathers’ houses.
25 And they trespassed against the God of their fathers, and played the harlot after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God destroyed before them. 26 And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river of Gozan, unto this day.

King James Version
5 Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was the firstborn; but forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright.
2 For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph's:)
3 The sons, I say, of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were, Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4 The sons of Joel; Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
5 Micah his son, Reaia his son, Baal his son,
6 Beerah his son, whom Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.
7 And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was reckoned, were the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,
8 And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baalmeon:
9 And eastward he inhabited unto the entering in of the wilderness from the river Euphrates: because their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead.
10 And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarites, who fell by their hand: and they dwelt in their tents throughout all the east land of Gilead.
11 And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in the land of Bashan unto Salcah:
12 Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat 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 Heber, 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, chief of the house of their fathers.
16 And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in her towns, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, upon 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 the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with bow, and skilful in war, were four and forty thousand seven hundred and threescore, that went out to the war.
19 And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Nephish, and Nodab.
20 And they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered into their hand, and all that were with them: for they cried to God in the battle, and he was intreated of them; because they put their trust in him.
21 And they took away their cattle; of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and of asses two thousand, and of men an hundred thousand.
22 For there fell down many slain, because the war was of God. And they dwelt in their steads until the captivity.
23 And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land: they increased from Bashan unto Baalhermon and Senir, and unto mount Hermon.
24 And these were the heads of the house of their fathers, even Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valour, famous men, and heads of the house of their fathers.
25 And they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went a whoring after the gods of the people of the land, whom God destroyed before them.
26 And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this day.
