Divrey Hayamim Alef 5:11-24 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

11. And the Bnei Gad dwelt next to them, in the Eretz Bashan as far as Salchah;

12. Yoel the rosh, and Shapham the mishneh (second), and Ya'nai, and Shaphat in Bashan.

13. And their achim of the bais avoteihem were Micha'el, and Meshullam, and Sheva, and Yorai, and Yakan, and Zia, and Ever, shivah (seven) in all.

14. These are the Bnei Avichayil Ben Churi Ben Yaroach Ben Gil'ad Ben Micha'el Ben Yeshishai Ben Yachdo Ben Buz.

15. Achi Ben Avdi'el Ben Guni was rosh of the bais avoteihem.

16. And they dwelt in Gil'ad in Bashan, and in her towns, and in all the migrashim (open lands) of Sharon, within their borders.

17. All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Yotam Melech Yehudah, and in the days of Yarov'am Melech Yisroel.

18. The Bnei Reuven, and the Gadi, and half the shevet (tribe) of Menasheh, of bnei chayil, anashim able to bear mogen and cherev, and to shoot with keshet, and trained for milchamah, were four and forty elef seven hundred and threescore, that were ready for military service.

19. And they waged milchamah against the Hagari'im, with Yetur, and Naphish, and Nodav.

20. And they were helped against them, and the Hagari'im were delivered into their yad, and all that were with them, for they cried to Elohim in the milchamah, and He was entreated of them [T.N. These genealogies establish the massively eyewitnessed veracity of the death and resurrection of Israel in and from the Golus.] because they put their trust in Him.

21. And they took away their mikneh: of their gemalim fifty elef, and of tzon two hundred and fifty elef, and of chamorim two thousand, and of nefesh adam a hundred elef.

22. For there fell down many slain, because the milchamah was Elohim's. And they took up residence in their place until the Golus.

23. And Bnei chatzi (half) shevet Menasheh dwelt in the land. They increased from Bashan unto Ba'al Chermon and Senir, and unto Har Chermon.

24. And these were the heads of the bais avotam, even Epher, Yishi, Eliel, Azriel, Yirmeyah, and Hodavyah, and Yachdiel, anashim gibborei chayil, famous men, and heads of the bais avotam.
