1 Chronicles 5:11-22
1599 Geneva Bible
11 ¶ And the children of Gad dwelt over against them in the land of Bashan, unto Salcah.
12 Joel was the chiefest, and Shapham the second, but Jaanai and Shaphat were in Bashan.
13 And their brethren of the house of their fathers were Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan, and Zia and Eber, seven.
14 These are the children of Abihail, the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz.
15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni was chief of the household of their fathers.
16 And they dwelt in Gilead in [a]Bashan, and in the towns thereof, and in all the suburbs of Sharon by their borders.
17 All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham King of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.
18 ¶ The sons of Reuben and of Gad, and of half the tribe of Manasseh of those that were valiant men, able to bear shield and sword, and to draw a bow exercised in war, were four and forty thousand, seven hundred and threescore, that went out to the war.
19 And they made war with the Hagrites, with [b]Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab.
20 And they were [c]helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all that were with them: for they cried to God in the battle, and he heard them, because they trusted in him.
21 And they led away their cattle, even their camels fifty thousand, and two hundred and fifty thousand sheep, and two thousand asses, and of [d]persons an hundred thousand.
22 For many fell down wounded, because the war was of God. And they dwelt in their steads until the [e]captivity.
