unto the_sons_of Joseph the_son_of Israél: and the genealogy is not to be_ reckoned after the birthright.
2 For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler ; but the birthright was Joseph’s :)
8 The sons, I say, of Reuben the_first- born_of Israél were, Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4 The_sons_of Joél; Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
6 Micah his son, Reaia his son, Baal his son,
6 Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-pil- neser king_of Assyria carried_away cap- tive: he was prince_of the Reubenites.
7 And his brethren by their families, when the_genealogy_of their genera- tions was_reckoned, were the chief, Jeiél, and Zechariah,
8 And Bela the_son_of Azaz, the_son_ of Shema, the_son_of Joél, who dwelt in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baal- meon:
9 And eastward he inhabited unto the_entering_in of the wilderness from the river Euphrates: because their cattle were_multiplied in the land_of Gilead.
10 And in the_days_of Saul they made war with the Hagarites; who fell by their hand: and they dwelt in their tents tnroughout all the_east_land_of xGi-
ead.
it And the_schildren_of Gad dwelt over_against them, in the_land_of xBa- shan unto Salcah:
12 Joél the chief, and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat in xBa- shan.
13 And their brethren of the_house_ of their fathers were, Michaél, and Me- shullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan, and Zia, and Heber, seven.
14 These are the_schildren_of Abihail the_son_of Huri, the_son_of Jaroah, the_son_of Gilead, the_son_of Michaél, the_son_of Jeshishai, the_son_of Jahdo, the_son_of Buz;
15 Ahi the_son_of Abdiél, the_son_of Guni, chiefofthe_house_oftheir fathers.
16 And they dwelt in xGilead in xBa- shan, and in her towns, and in all the_ suburbs_of Sharon, upon their g borders.
17 All these were_reckoned_by_gene- alogies in the_days_of Jotham king_of Judah, and in the_days_of Jeroboam king_of Israél.
18 The_sons_of Reuben, and the Gadites, and half the_tribe_of Ma- nasseh, of s valiant men, men able_to_ bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with bow, and skilful in war, were four and forty thousand seven hundred and threescore, +that_went_out to the war.
19 And they made war with the Ha- garites, with Jetur, and Nephish, and Nodab.
20 And they were_helped against them, and the Hagarites were_delivered into their hand, and all that were with them: for they cried to =God in the battle, and He was-_intreated of them ; because they put_their_trust in Him.
21 And they took_away their cattle; of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two_hundred and fifty thousand,
