1 Chronicles 5:23-26
New English Translation
The Half-Tribe of Manasseh
23 The half-tribe of Manasseh settled in the land from Bashan as far as Baal Hermon, Senir, and Mount Hermon. They grew in number.
24 These were the leaders of their families:[a]
Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were skilled warriors, men of reputation,[b] and leaders of their families. 25 But they were unfaithful to the God of their ancestors[c] and worshiped instead[d] the gods of the native peoples[e] whom God had destroyed before them. 26 So the God of Israel stirred up[f] King Pul of Assyria (that is, King Tiglath-Pileser of Assyria),[g] and he carried away the Reubenites, Gadites, and half-tribe of Manasseh and took them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan, where they remain to this very day.

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.
