1 Chronicles 5:1-10
International Standard Version
Genealogy of Reuben(A)
5 Here is a record of[a] the descendants of Reuben, Israel’s firstborn. (He was the firstborn, but because he defiled his father’s marriage bed, his birthright was transferred to the descendants of Israel’s son Joseph. As a result, Reuben is not enrolled in the genealogy according to the birthright. 2 Even though Judah became prominent among his relatives—that is, the Commander-in-chief[b] will be his descendant—nevertheless the right of the firstborn went to Joseph.)
3 The descendants of Reuben, Israel’s firstborn, included Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4 Joel’s descendants were his son Shemaiah, his son Gog, his son Shimei, 5 his son Micah, his son Reaiah, his son Baal, 6 and his son Beerah, whom King Tiglath-pileser of Assyria carried away into exile, and who was a governor of the descendants of Reuben.
7 His relatives, listed by families when the genealogy was enrolled according to their generations, included[c] the chief, Jeiel, Zechariah, 8 and Azaz’s son Bela, grandson of Shema, and great-grandson of Joel, who lived in Aroer, near Nebo and Baal-meon. 9 He also lived eastward as far as the entrance to the wilderness this side of the Euphrates River,[d] because their cattle had increased in the territory of Gilead. 10 During the reign[e] of Saul they declared war on the Hagrites, who fell in battle by their hand. They lived in their tents throughout all of east Gilead.
