The Family Line of Reuben
1Reuben was the oldest son of Israel. But he slept with his father’s concubine. By doing that, he made his father’s bed “unclean.” That’s why his rights as the oldest son were given to the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel. So Reuben isn’t listed in the family history as the one who had the rights of the oldest son. 2Judah also did not have the rights of the oldest son. Judah didn’t have them even though he was the leader among his brothers. And a ruler came from his family line. But the rights of the oldest son belonged to Joseph. 3Reuben was the oldest son of Israel. Reuben’s sons were
Hanok, Pallu, Hezron and Karmi.
4The family line of Joel includes
his son Shemaiah. Gog was the son of Shemaiah.
Shimei was the son of Gog. 5Micah was the son of Shimei.
Reaiah was the son of Micah. Baal was the son of Reaiah.
6And Beerah was the son of Baal. Beerah was a leader of the people of Reuben. Tiglath-Pileser took Beerah as a prisoner to another country. Tiglath-Pileser was the king of Assyria.
7Here are the relatives of the family groups of Reuben. They are listed in their family history.
They include Chief Jeiel, Zechariah 8and Bela. Bela was the son of Azaz. Azaz was the son of Shema. Shema was the son of Joel.
All of them made their homes in the area from Aroer to Nebo and Baal Meon. 9To the east they made their homes in the land up to the edge of the desert. That desert reaches all the way to the Euphrates River. They made their homes there because their livestock had increased in Gilead.
10While Saul was king, the people of Reuben went to war against the Hagrites. They won the battle over them. Then they lived in the houses of the Hagrites. The people of Reuben lived in the entire area east of Gilead.
The Family Line of Gad
11The people of Gad lived next to the people of Reuben in Bashan. They spread out all the way to Salekah.
12Joel was their chief. Shapham was next. Then came Janai and Shaphat in Bashan.
13Here are their relatives family by family. They included
Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jakan, Zia and Eber. The total number of them was seven.
14These were the sons of Abihail. Abihail was the son of Huri. Huri was the son of Jaroah. Jaroah was the son of Gilead. Gilead was the son of Michael. Michael was the son of Jeshishai. Jeshishai was the son of Jahdo. And Jahdo was the son of Buz.
15Ahi was the leader of some of the families of Gad. Ahi was the son of Abdiel. Abdiel was the son of Guni.
16The people of Gad lived in the land of Gilead. They lived in the villages of Bashan. They also lived on all the grasslands of Sharon as far as they reached.
17All these names were written down in the family history. They were written during the time when Jotham was king of Judah and Jeroboam was king of Israel.
18The tribes of Reuben, Gad and half the tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 men able to serve in the army. Each one was able to handle a shield and sword. Each was also able to use a bow. Each was trained for battle. 19They went to war against the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish and Nodab. 20God helped his people fight against the Hagrites and all who were helping them. He handed over all those enemies to his people. That’s because they cried out to him during the battle. He answered their prayers, because they trusted in him. 21They captured the livestock of the Hagrites. They captured 50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep and 2,000 donkeys. They also took 100,000 people as prisoners. 22Many others were killed, because God won the battle over them. His people lived in the land until they themselves were taken as prisoners to other countries.
The Family Line of Half of the Tribe of Manasseh
23The people in half of the tribe of Manasseh became a very large group. They made their homes in the land from Bashan to Baal Hermon. Baal Hermon is also called Senir. Another name for it is Mount Hermon.
24Here are the leaders of their families. They included Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah and Jahdiel. They were brave fighting men. They were also famous and were leaders of their families. 25But they weren’t faithful to the God of their people. They joined themselves to the gods of the nations of the land and worshiped them. God had destroyed those nations to make room for his people. 26So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul. He was king of Assyria. He was also called Tiglath-Pileser. He took the tribes of Reuben and Gad and half of the tribe of Manasseh to other countries as his prisoners. He took them to Halah, Habor, Hara and the river of Gozan. And that’s where they still are to this day.
Ang mga Kaliwat ni Reuben
1Si Reuben mao ang kamagulangan nga anak ni Israel.5:1 Israel: o, Jacob. Apan tungod kay nakighilawas si Reuben sa usa sa mga asawa sa iyang amahan, ang iyang katungod isip kamagulangan gihatag ngadto sa mga anak sa iyang igsoon nga si Jose. Busa wala ilista si Reuben sa listahan sa ilang mga kaliwat ingon nga kamagulangan nga anak. 2Ug bisag gamhanan si Juda kaysa iyang mga igsoon ug ang pangulo naggikan sa iyang tribo, ang katungod isip kamagulangan gihatag ngadto kang Jose. 3Mao kini ang mga anak ni Reuben, ang kamagulangang anak ni Israel: sila si Hanoc, Palu, Hezron, ug Carmi.
4Mao kini ang mga kaliwat ni Joel: sila si Shemaya, Gog, Shimei, 5Micas, Reaya, Baal, 6ug Beera. Si Beera ang pangulo sa mga kaliwat ni Reuben sa dihang gibihag sila ni Tiglat Pileser nga hari sa Asiria. 7Mao kini ang mga paryente ni Beera nga nalista sa listahan sa ilang mga kaliwat. Gilista sila sumala sa ilang tribo: si Jeil (ang pangulo), si Zacarias, 8ug si Bela nga anak ni Azaz. Kini si Azaz anak ni Shema ug apo ni Joel. Kini nga mga kaliwat ni Reuben nagpuyo sa mga dapit sa Aroer hangtod sa Nebo ug Baal Meon. 9Ug tungod kay midaghan ang ilang kahayopan didto sa Gilead, nakaabot sila hangtod sa sidlakan, sa utlanan sa disyerto paingon sa Suba sa Eufrates. 10Sa panahon ni Haring Saul, nakiggira sila sa mga Hagarnon ug gipildi nila kini. Gisakop nila ang mga dapit sa mga Hagarnon sa tibuok sidlakang bahin sa Gilead.
Ang mga Kaliwat ni Gad
11Nagpuyo ang mga kaliwat ni Gad sa kayutaan sa Basan hangtod sa Saleca. Kasikbit kini sa kayutaan sa mga kaliwat ni Reuben. 12Mao kini ang mga kaliwat ni Gad: si Joel, nga mao ang pangulo sa Basan, ang sunod kaniya mao si Shafam, unya si Janai ug si Shafat. 13Ang ilang mga paryente sumala sa tagsa-tagsa nila ka pamilya mao sila si Micael, Meshulam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, ug Eber—pito silang tanan. 14Sila ang mga kaliwat ni Abihail nga anak ni Huri. Si Huri anak ni Jaroa ug apo ni Gilead, ug apo sa tuhod ni Micael. Kini si Micael anak ni Jeshishai ug apo ni Jado, ug apo sa tuhod ni Buz. 15Si Ahi nga anak ni Abdiel ug apo ni Guni mao ang pangulo sa ilang mga pamilya. 16Nagpuyo sila sa Gilead, didto sa Basan, ug sa mga baryo sa palibot niini, ug sa tibuok sabsabanan sa Sharon. 17Kini silang tanan nalista sa listahan sa mga kaliwat niadtong panahon sa paghari ni Jotam sa Juda ug ni Jeroboam sa Israel.
18May 44,760 ka mga sundalo sa tribo ni Reuben, Gad, ug sa katunga sa tribo ni Manase. Gibansay sila alang sa gira ug hanas silang mogamit ug mga taming, espada, ug pana. 19Nakiggira sila sa mga Hagarnon, Jeturnon, Nafishnon, ug Nodabnon. 20Nangayo sila ug tabang sa Dios sa dihang nakiggira sila, ug gitubag sa Dios ang ilang pag-ampo tungod kay misalig sila kaniya. Busa gipadaog sila sa Dios batok sa mga Hagarnon ug sa tanang mga kaabin niini. 21Gipanguha nila ang kahayopan sa mga Hagarnon: 50,000 ka mga kamelyo, 250,000 ka mga karnero, ug 2,000 ka mga asno. Gibihag usab nila ang 100,000 ka mga tawo, 22ug daghan ang ilang napatay tungod kay gitabangan sila sa Dios sa pagpakiggira. Ug mipuyo sila sa mga dapit sa mga Hagarnon hangtod nga gibihag sila ngadto sa Asiria.
Ang Katunga sa Tribo ni Manase
23Ang katunga sa tribo ni Manase nagpuyo sa kayutaan gikan sa Basan paingon sa Baal Hermon, sa Senir, ug sa Bukid sa Hermon. Daghan kaayo sila. 24Mao kini ang mga pangulo sa ilang mga pamilya: sila si Efer, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremias, Hodavia, ug Jadiel. Mga maisog sila nga mga sundalo ug bantogan nga mga pangulo sa ilang mga pamilya. 25Apan wala sila magmatinumanon sa Dios sa ilang mga katigulangan. Misimba hinuon sila sa mga dios sa mga katawhan niadtong yutaa nga gilaglag sa Dios. 26Busa gisugo sa Dios sa Israel nga sulongon sila ni Pul (gitawag usab ug Tiglat Pileser) nga hari sa Asiria. Gibihag ni Pul ang mga tribo ni Reuben, Gad, ug ang katunga sa tribo ni Manase, ug gidala sa Hala, Habor, Hara, ug sa Suba sa Gozan, diin atua sila hangtod karon.
