1 Chronicles 5:11-22

Evangelical Heritage Version

The Tribe of Gad

¹¹ The descendants of Gad lived next to them in the land of Bashan, all the way to Salekah. ¹² Joel was the head, Shapham the second, also Janai and Shaphat in Bashan. ¹³ Their brothers from their fathers’ houses were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jakan, Zia, and Eber, seven in all.

¹⁴ These were the sons of Abihail, who was 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 son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was head of the house of their fathers.^{[a] 16} They lived in Gilead in Bashan, in its towns, and in all the pastures surrounding Sharon, all the way to their borders. ¹⁷ All these were listed in genealogies from the days of Jotham king of Judah, and from the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

The Transjordan Armies

¹⁸ The descendants of Reuben, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 men in their armies, warriors armed with shields and swords, as well as archers, trained for war, ready to go out to battle. ¹⁹ They made war with the Hagraites, with Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab. ²⁰ These tribes received help against the Hagraites, so the Hagraites were delivered into their hands, along with all who were with them, because Israel cried out to God during the battle, and he answered them, because they put their trust in him. ²¹ They took away their livestock: fifty thousand of their camels, two hundred fifty thousand sheep, two thousand donkeys, and one hundred thousand living people. ²² So many of the enemy were cut down in battle, because the war was from God. These tribes lived in their place until the captivity.
