1 Chronicles 5:23-26
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Half the Tribe of Manasseh
23 The sons of half the tribe of Manasseh settled in the land from Bashan to Baal-hermon (that is, Senir(A) or Mount Hermon); they were numerous. 24 These were the heads of their ancestral houses: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were brave warriors, famous men, and heads of their ancestral houses. 25 But they were unfaithful to the God of their ancestors. They prostituted themselves(B) with the gods of the nations[a] God had destroyed before them.(C) 26 So the God of Israel put it into the mind of Pul(D) (that is, Tiglath-pileser[b]) king of Assyria to take the Reubenites, Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh into exile. He took them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and Gozan’s river, where they are until today.
