Sons of the Half-Tribe of Manasseh

²³ Now the sons of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land; from Bashan to Baal-hermon and ^(A)Senir and Mount Hermon they were numerous. ²⁴ These were the heads of their fathers’ households, even Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valor, men of renown, heads of their fathers’ households.

²⁵ But they ^(B)acted unfaithfully against the God of their fathers and ^(C)played the harlot ^(D)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 ^(E)Pul, king of Assyria, even the spirit of ^[a]Tilgath-pilneser, king of Assyria, and he ^(F)took them away into exile, namely the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and to the river of Gozan, to this day.
