The Scriptures 1998

1 Chronicles 5:6-22 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

6. and Be’ĕrah his son, whom Tiglath-Pileser sovereign of Ashshur took into exile. He was leader of the Re’uḇĕnites.

7. And his brothers by their clans, when the genealogy of their generations was registered: the chief, Ye‛i’ĕl, and Zeḵaryahu,

8. and Bela son of Azaz, son of Shema, son of Yo’ĕl, who dwelt in Aro‛ĕr, as far as Neḇo and Ba‛al Me‛on.

9. And he dwelt eastward as far as the entrance of the wilderness from the River Euphrates, because their livestock had increased in the land of Gil‛aḏ.

10. And in the days of Sha’ul they fought against the Hag̅rites, who fell by their hand. And they dwelt in their tents over all the eastern part of Gil‛aḏ.

11. And the children of Gaḏ dwelt next to them in the land of Bashan as far as Salḵah:

12. Yo’ĕl was the chief, Shapham the next, then Ya‛anai and Shaphat in Bashan;

13. and their brothers of their father’s house: Miḵa’ĕl, and Meshullam, and Sheḇa, and Yorai, and Yakan, and Ziya, and Ěḇer, seven.

14. These were the children of Aḇiḥayil son of Ḥuri, son of Yarowaḥ, son of Gil‛aḏ, son of Miḵa’ĕl, son of Yeshishai, son of Yaḥdo, son of Buz;

15. Aḥi son of Aḇdi’ĕl, son of Guni, was chief of their father’s house.

16. And they dwelt in Gil‛aḏ, in Bashan and in its villages, and in all the open lands of Sharon within their borders.

17. All these were registered by genealogies in the days of Yotham sovereign of Yehuḏah, and in the days of Yaroḇ‛am sovereign of Yisra’ĕl.

18. The sons of Re’uḇĕn, and the Gaḏites, and half the tribe of Menashsheh had forty-four thousand seven hundred and sixty brave men, men able to bear shield and sword, to shoot with the bow, and skilled in battle, going out to the army.

19. And they fought against the Hag̅rites, and Yetur, and Naphish, and Noḏaḇ.

20. And they were helped against them, and the Hag̅rites were given into their hand, and all who were with them. For they cried out to Elohim in the battle, and He answered their prayer, because they put their trust in Him.

21. And they took away their livestock: fifty thousand of their camels, and two hundred and fifty thousand of their sheep, and two thousand of their donkeys, also one hundred thousand of their men,

22. for many fell dead, because the battle was of Elohim. And they dwelt in their place until the exile.
