³¹ half of Gilead, and ^(A)Ashtaroth and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the ^(B)children of Machir the son of Manasseh, for half of the children of Machir according to their families.

³⁷ of the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, from the other side of the Jordan, one hundred and twenty thousand armed for battle with every kind of weapon of war.

¹⁹ And some from Manasseh defected to David ^(A)when he was going with the Philistines to battle against Saul; but they did not help them, for the lords of the Philistines sent him away by agreement, saying, ^(B)“He may defect to his master Saul and endanger our heads.”

The Other Half-Tribe of Manasseh (West)

17 There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the ^(A)firstborn of Joseph: namely for ^(B)Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war; therefore he was given ^(C)Gilead and Bashan.

² So David said to Achish, “Surely you know what your servant can do.”

And Achish said to David, “Therefore I will make you one of my chief guardians forever.”

⁵ Ten shares fell to ^(A)Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side of the Jordan, ⁶ because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons; and the rest of Manasseh’s sons had the land of Gilead.
