Context
5:12 They included Joel the leader , Shapham the second in command, Janai , and Shaphat in Bashan .
5:13 Their relatives , listed according to their families , included Michael , Meshullam , Sheba , Jorai , Jacan , Zia , and Eber – seven in all.
5:14 These were the sons of Abihail son of Huri , son of Jaroah , son of Gilead , son of Michael , son of Jeshishai , son of Jahdo , son of Buz .
5:15 Ahi son of Abdiel , son of Guni , was the leader of the family .
5:16 They lived in Gilead , in Bashan and its surrounding settlements, and in the pasturelands of Sharon to their very borders .
5:17 All of them were listed in the genealogical records in the time of King Jotham of Judah and in the time of King Jeroboam of Israel .
5:18 The Reubenites , Gadites , and the half-tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 men in their combined armies, warriors who carried shields and swords , were equipped with bows , and were trained for war .
5:19 They attacked the Hagrites , Jetur , Naphish , and Nodab .
5:20 They received divine help in fighting them, and the Hagrites and all their allies were handed over to them. They cried out to God during the battle ; he responded to their prayers because they trusted in him.
5:21 They seized the Hagrites’ animals , including 50,000 camels , 250,000 sheep , and 2,000 donkeys . They also took captive 100,000 people .
5:22 Because God fought for them, they killed many of the enemy. They dispossessed the Hagrites and lived in their land until the exile .
The Half-Tribe of Manasseh
5:23 The half-tribe of Manasseh settled in the land from Bashan as far as Baal Hermon , Senir , and Mount Hermon . They grew in number .
5:24 These were the leaders of their families : Epher , Ishi , Eliel , Azriel , Jeremiah , Hodaviah , and Jahdiel . They were skilled warriors , warriors , men of reputation , and leaders of their families .
5:25 But they were unfaithful to the God of their ancestors and worshiped instead the gods of the native peoples whom God had destroyed before them.
5:26 So the God of Israel stirred up King Pul of Assyria (that is, King Tiglath-pileser of Assyria ), and he carried away the Reubenites , Gadites , and half-tribe of Manasseh and took them to Halah , Habor , Hara , and the river of Gozan , where they remain to this very day .
