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.

Reuben’s Descendants

5 These were the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel. He was the firstborn,(A) but his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph(B) son of Israel, because Reuben defiled his father’s bed.(C) He is not listed in the genealogy according to birthright. 2 Although Judah became strong among his brothers(D) and a ruler came from him,(E) the birthright was given to Joseph.

3 The sons of Reuben, Israel’s firstborn:(F)

Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

4 Joel’s sons: his son Shemaiah,

his son Gog, his son Shimei,

5 his son Micah, his son Reaiah,

his son Baal, 6 and his son Beerah.

Beerah was a leader of the Reubenites, and King Tiglath-pileser[a] of Assyria took him into exile. 7 His relatives by their families as they are recorded in their family records:(G)

Jeiel the chief, Zechariah,

8 and Bela son of Azaz,

son of Shema, son of Joel.

They settled in Aroer(H) as far as Nebo and Baal-meon. 9 They also settled in the east as far as the edge of the desert that extends to the Euphrates River, because their herds had increased in the land of Gilead.(I) 10 During Saul’s reign they waged war against the Hagrites,(J) who were defeated by their power. And they lived in their tents throughout the region east of Gilead.
