Ham.

Judah, and struck their tents, and the Meunim who were found
there, and destroyed them utterly to this day, and lived in
their place; because there was pasture there for their flocks.
Some of them, even of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men, went
to Mount Seir, having for their captains Pelatiah, and Neariah,
and Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.
They struck the remnant of the Amalekites who escaped, and have

1 Chronicles 5 |
|
The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for he was the
firstborn; but, because he defiled his father’s couch, his
birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel;
and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright.
For Judah prevailed above his brothers, and of him came the
prince; but the birthright was Joseph’s:)
the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, and Pallu,
Hezron, and Carmi.
The sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
Beerah his son, whom Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria carried
away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.
His brothers by their families, when the genealogy of their
generations was reckoned: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,
and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who
lived in Aroer, even to Nebo and Baal Meon:
and eastward he lived even to the entrance of the wilderness
from the river Euphrates, because their livestock were
multiplied in the land of Gilead.
In the days of Saul, they made war with the Hagrites, who fell
by their hand; and they lived in their tents throughout all the land east of Gilead.
The sons of Gad lived over against them, in the land of Bashan
to Salecah:
Joel the chief, and Shapham the second, and Janai, and Shaphat
in Bashan.
Their brothers of their fathers’ houses: Michael, and Meshullam,
and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jacan, and Zia, and Eber, seven.
These were the sons 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;
Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of their fathers’
houses.
They lived in Gilead in Bashan, and in its towns, and in all the
suburbs of Sharon, as far as their borders.
All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham
king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.
The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of
Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword,
and to shoot with bow, and skillful in war, were forty-four
thousand seven hundred and sixty, that were able to go forth to
war.
They made war with the Hagrites, with Jetur, and Naphish, and
Nodab.
They were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered
into their hand, and all who were with them; for they cried to
God in the battle, and he was entreated of them, because they
put their trust in him.
They took away their livestock; of their camels fifty thousand,
and of sheep two hundred fifty thousand, and of donkeys two
thousand, and of men one hundred thousand.
For there fell many slain, because the war was of God. They
lived in their place until the captivity.
The children of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land:
they increased from Bashan to Baal Hermon and Senir and Mount
Hermon.
These were the heads of their fathers’ houses: even Epher, and
Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and
Jahdiel, mighty men of valor, famous men, heads of their
fathers’ houses.
They trespassed against the God of their fathers, and played the
prostitute after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God
destroyed before them.
The God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria,
and the spirit of Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria, and he
carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the
half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, and Habor,
and Hara, and to the river of Gozan, to this day. |
