Gad’s Descendants
11 The sons(A) of Gad lived next to them in the land of Bashan as far as Salecah:(B)
12 Joel the chief, Shapham the second in command, Janai, and Shaphat in Bashan.
13 Their relatives according to their ancestral houses: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber—seven.
14 These were the sons of Abihail son of Huri,
son of Jaroah, son of Gilead,
son of Michael, son of Jeshishai,
son of Jahdo, son of Buz.
15 Ahi son of Abdiel, son of Guni, was head of their ancestral family.[a] 16 They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its surrounding villages, and throughout the pasturelands of Sharon.(C) 17 All of them were registered in the genealogies during the reigns of Judah’s King Jotham(D) and Israel’s King Jeroboam.(E)
18 The descendants of Reuben and Gad and half the tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 warriors who could serve(F) in the army—men who carried shield and sword, drew the bow, and were trained for war. 19 They waged war against the Hagrites,(G) Jetur,(H) Naphish, and Nodab. 20 They received help against these enemies because they cried out to God in battle, and the Hagrites and all their allies were handed over to them.(I) He was receptive to their prayer because they trusted in him.(J) 21 They captured the Hagrites’ livestock—fifty thousand of their camels, two hundred fifty thousand sheep, and two thousand donkeys—as well as one hundred thousand people. 22 Many of the Hagrites were killed because it was God’s battle.(K) And they lived there in the Hagrites’ place(L) until the exile.(M)
