1 Chronicles 5 — UBES
5Verse 1And the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for he was the firstborn; but because of his going up to his father’s couch, his father gave his blessing to his son Joseph, even the son of Israel; and he was not reckoned as firstborn;Verse 2for Judah was very mighty even among his brethren, and one was to be a ruler out of him: but the blessing was Joseph’s).Verse 3The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel; Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.Verse 4The sons of Joel; Shemaiah, and Benaiah his son: and the sons of Gog the son of Shemaiah.Verse 5His son was Micah, his son Reaiah, his son Baal,Verse 6his son Beerah, whom Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria carried away captive: he is the chief of the Reubenites.Verse 7And his brethren in his family, in their distribution according to their generations; the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah.Verse 8And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel: he dwelt in Aroer, and even to Nebo, and Baal-meon.Verse 9And he dwelt eastward to the borders of the wilderness, from the river Euphrates: for they had much cattle in the land of Gilead.Verse 10And in the days of Saul they made war upon the sojourners in the land; and they fell into their hands, all of them dwelling in their tents eastward of Gilead.Verse 11The sons of Gad dwelt over against them in the land of Bashan even to Salecah.Verse 12Joel the firstborn, and Shapham the second, and Janai the scribe in Bashan.Verse 13And their brethren according to the houses of their fathers; Michael, Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jacan, and Zia, and Eber, seven.Verse 14These are the sons of Abihail the son of Huri, the son of Idai, the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz,Verse 15who was the brother of the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, he was chief of the house of their families.Verse 16They dwelt in Gilead, in Bashan, and in their villages, and in all the country round about Sharon to the border.Verse 17The enumeration of them all took place in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.Verse 18The sons of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, of mighty men, bearing shields and sword, and bending the bow, and skilled in war, were forty and four thousand and seven hundred and sixty, going forth to battle.Verse 19And they made war with the Hagrites, and Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab,Verse 20and they prevailed against them: and the Hagrites were given into their hands, they and all their tents: for they cried to God in the battle, and he hearkened to them, because they trusted on him.Verse 21And they took captive their store; five thousand camels, and two hundred and fifty thousand sheep, two thousand asses, and a hundred thousand men.Verse 22For many fell slain, because the war was of God. And they dwelt in their place until the captivity.Verse 23And the half-tribe of Manasseh dwelt from Bashan to Baal-hermon, and Senir, and to the Mount Hermon: and they increased in Lebanon.Verse 24And these were the heads of the houses of their families; Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valor, men of renown, heads of the houses of their families.Verse 25But they rebelled against the God of their fathers, and went a-whoring after the gods of the nations of the land, whom God cast out from before them.Verse 26And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and carried away Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, and Habor, and to the river Gozan, until this day.Verse 27The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.Verse 28And the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.Verse 29And the sons of Amram; Aaron, and Moses, and Miriam: and the sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.Verse 30Eleazar begot Phinehas, Phinehas begot Abishua;Verse 31Abishua begot Bukki, and Bukki begot Uzzi;Verse 32Uzzi begot Zerahiah, Zerahiah begot Meraioth;Verse 33and Meraioth begot Amariah, and Amariah begot Ahitub;Verse 34and Ahitub begot Zadok, and Zadok begot Ahimaaz;Verse 35and Ahimaaz begot Azariah, and Azariah begot Johanan;Verse 36and Johanan begot Azariah: he ministered as priest in the house which Solomon built in Jerusalem.Verse 37And Azariah begot Amariah, and Amariah begot Ahitub;Verse 38and Ahitub begot Zadok, and Zadok begot Shallum;Verse 39and Shallum begot Hilkiah, and Hilkiah begot Azariah;Verse 40and Azariah begot Seraiah, and Seraiah begot Jehozadak.Verse 41And Jehozadak went into captivity with Judah and Jerusalem under Nebuchadnezzar.
