Descendientes de Rubén

Los hijos de Rubén, el hijo mayor de Israel, fueron Hanoc, Falú, Hesrón y Carmí. Rubén era realmente el hijo mayor, pero perdió sus derechos de hijo mayor por haber abusado de la mujer de su padre, y esos derechos pasaron a los hijos de José, otro hijo de Israel. Sin embargo, después Judá llegó a ser más poderoso que sus hermanos, y de él salió un jefe; pero los derechos de hijo mayor eran de José.

4-6 Los descendientes de Joel, en línea directa, fueron Semaías, Gog, Simí, Micaías, Reaías, Baal y Beerá, jefe de los rubenitas, que fue llevado cautivo por Tiglat-piléser, rey de Asiria.

Los hermanos de Beerá, según el orden en que sus clanes fueron registrados, fueron Jeiel, el principal, Zacarías y Bela, hijo de Azaz, nieto de Sema, el hijo de Joel. Bela vivió en Aroer y su territorio se extendía hasta Nebo y Baal-meón. Por el oriente se estableció hasta el borde del desierto que se extiende desde el río Éufrates, pues sus ganados aumentaron mucho en la región de Galaad.

10 Durante el reinado de Saúl, los rubenitas estuvieron en guerra con los agarenos, pero los derrotaron y se establecieron en la parte oriental de la región de Galaad.

Descendientes de Gad

11 Los descendientes de Gad que vivieron frente a los rubenitas, en la región de Basán, hasta la ciudad de Salcá, fueron 12 Joel, el principal, y después de él, Safán, luego Jaanai, y luego Safat. 13 Sus parientes, en orden de familias, fueron Micael, Mesulam, Sebá, Jorai, Jacán, Zía y Éber, siete en total. 14 Éstos fueron hijos de Abihail, quien fue hijo de Hurí, éste de Jaróah, éste de Galaad, éste de Micael, éste de Jesisai, éste de Jahdó, éste de Buz. 15 Ahí, hijo de Abdiel y nieto de Guní, fue el jefe de sus familias. 16 Todos ellos vivieron en Galaad, en Basán y en sus aldeas, y en los campos de pastoreo de Sarón, hasta sus límites. 17 Todos ellos fueron inscritos en el registro familiar en tiempos de Jotam, rey de Judá, y de Jeroboam, rey de Israel.

Historia de las dos tribus y media

18 Los descendientes de Rubén y de Gad, y la media tribu de Manasés, eran soldados valientes, armados de escudo, espada y arco, y bien entrenados para combatir. Eran cuarenta y cuatro mil setecientos sesenta hombres aptos para la guerra. 19 Y pelearon contra los agarenos, y contra Jetur, Nafís y Nodab; 20 pero Dios los ayudó, y los agarenos y sus aliados cayeron en sus manos, porque en medio de la batalla pidieron a Dios que los ayudara. Dios los ayudó porque confiaron en él. 21 Luego se llevaron los ganados de sus enemigos, que eran cincuenta mil camellos, doscientas cincuenta mil ovejas y dos mil asnos. Hicieron además cien mil prisioneros. 22 Muchos enemigos murieron, porque la guerra era de parte de Dios. Y se quedaron a vivir en aquellos lugares hasta la época del destierro.

23 Los descendientes de la media tribu de Manasés vivieron en la región que se extiende desde Basán hasta Baal-hermón, Senir y el monte Hermón, pues eran muchos. 24 Los jefes de sus familias fueron Éfer, Isí, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremías, Hodavías y Jahdiel, todos ellos soldados valientes, hombres famosos y jefes de familia. 25 Pero se rebelaron contra el Dios de sus antepasados y le fueron infieles adorando a los dioses de los pueblos que Dios había destruido y eliminado delante de ellos. 26 Por esta razón, el Dios de Israel incitó a Pul, rey de Asiria, es decir, a Tiglat-piléser, quien desterró a los rubenitas y gaditas y a la media tribu de Manasés; y los llevó a Halah, Habor, Hará y al río Gozán, donde están hasta el presente.

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.

The Family of Reuben(A)

Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel—(B)he was indeed the firstborn, but because he (C)defiled his father’s bed, (D)his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel, so that the genealogy is not listed according to the birthright; yet (E)Judah prevailed over his brothers, and from him came a (F)ruler, although [a]the birthright was Joseph’s— the sons of (G)Reuben the firstborn of Israel were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

The sons of Joel were Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son, Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son, and Beerah his son, whom [b]Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria (H)carried into captivity. He was leader of the Reubenites. And his brethren by their families, (I)when the genealogy of their generations was registered: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah, and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt in (J)Aroer, as far as Nebo and Baal Meon. Eastward they settled as far as the [c]entrance of the wilderness this side of the River Euphrates, because their cattle had [d]multiplied (K)in the land of Gilead.

10 Now in the days of Saul they made war (L)with the Hagrites, who fell by their hand; and they dwelt in their tents throughout the entire area east of Gilead.

The Family of Gad

11 And the (M)children of Gad dwelt next to them in the land of (N)Bashan as far as (O)Salcah: 12 Joel was the chief, Shapham the next, then Jaanai and Shaphat in Bashan, 13 and their brethren of their father’s house: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jachan, Zia, and Eber—seven in all. 14 These were 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 their father’s house. 16 And the Gadites dwelt in Gilead, in Bashan and in its villages, and in all the [e]common-lands of (P)Sharon within their borders. 17 All these were registered by genealogies in the days of (Q)Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of (R)Jeroboam king of Israel.

18 The sons of Reuben, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh had forty-four thousand seven hundred and sixty valiant men, men able to bear shield and sword, to shoot with the bow, and skillful in war, who went to war. 19 They made war with the Hagrites, (S)Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab. 20 And (T)they were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them, for they (U)cried out to God in the battle. He [f]heeded their prayer, because they (V)put their trust in Him. 21 Then they took away their livestock—fifty thousand of their camels, two hundred and fifty thousand of their sheep, and two thousand of their donkeys—also one hundred thousand of their men; 22 for many fell dead, because the war (W)was God’s. And they dwelt in their place until (X)the captivity.

The Family of Manasseh (East)

23 So the children of the half-tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land. Their numbers increased from Bashan to Baal Hermon, that is, to (Y)Senir, or Mount Hermon. 24 These were the heads of their fathers’ houses: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were mighty men of valor, famous men, and heads of their fathers’ houses.

25 And they were unfaithful to the God of their fathers, and (Z)played the harlot 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 (AA)Pul king of Assyria, that is, (AB)Tiglath-Pileser[g] king of Assyria. He carried the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh into captivity. He took them to (AC)Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan to this day.
