Sons of Gad

¹¹ Now the sons of Gad lived opposite them in the land of ^(A)Bashan as far as ^(B)Salecah. ¹² Joel was the chief and Shapham the second, then Janai and Shaphat in Bashan. ¹³ Their ^[a]relatives of their fathers’ households were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber, seven. ¹⁴ These were the sons of Abihail, the son of Huri,

¹⁵ Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was head of their fathers’ households. ¹⁶ They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and in its towns, and in all the pasture lands of ^(C)Sharon, as far as their ^[b]borders. ¹⁷ All of these were recorded in the genealogies in the days of ^(D)Jotham king of Judah and in the days of ^(E)Jeroboam king of Israel.

¹⁸ The sons of Reuben and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, consisting of men of valor, men who bore shield and sword and shot with bow and were learned in the ways of battle, were 44,760, who ^(F)went out for military duty. ¹⁹ They made war against ^(G)the Hagrites, ^(H)Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab. ²⁰ They were helped against them, and the Hagrites and all who were with them were given into their hand; for ^(I)they cried out to God in the battle, and He was moved by their entreaty because ^(J)they trusted in Him. ²¹ They took captive their cattle: their 50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, 2,000 donkeys; and 100,000 ^[c]men. ²² For many fell slain, because ^(K)the war was of God. And ^(L)they lived in their place until the ^(M)exile.
