1Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for he was the firstborn, but since he defiled his father’s bed, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel, so that the genealogy is not listed according to the birthright;[#Ge 29:32; #Ge 35:22; #Ge 48:15–20]
2though Judah prevailed over his brothers and a ruler came from him, yet the birthright belonged to Joseph),[#Ge 49:8–10; Mic 5:2; Mt 2:6; #Ge 49:26; 50:23]
3the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were[#Ge 46:9; Ex 6:14; Nu 26:5–9]
17All of them were registered by genealogy in the days of Jotham king of Judah and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.[#2Ki 14:16, 28]
18The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh numbered forty-four thousand seven hundred and sixty valiant men, men able to bear shield and sword, to shoot with a bow, and who were skillful in battle, who went to war.[#Nu 1:3]
19They made war with the Hagrites, namely Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.[#Ge 25:15; 1Ch 1:31]
20They were helped against them, and the Hagrites and all who were with them were delivered into their hand, for they cried to God in the battle, and He heard their prayer because they trusted in Him.[#2Ch 18:31; Ps 20:7–8]
21They captured their livestock: fifty thousand of their camels, two hundred and fifty thousand sheep, two thousand donkeys, and one hundred thousand men.
22So many fell slain, because the war was of God. And they dwelt in their place until the exile.[#2Ki 15:29; 17:6]
23The sons of the half-tribe of Manasseh also dwelt in the land. They increased from Bashan as far as Baal Hermon and Senir, even to Mount Hermon.[#Dt 3:8–9; SS 4:8]
24These were the heads of their fathers’ houses: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valor, men of reputation, and heads of their fathers’ houses.
25They were unfaithful to the God of their fathers and played the harlot after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had wiped out before them.[#Ex 34:15]
26So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul the king of Assyria, even the spirit of Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria, and he led the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh into exile and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and to the river of Gozan to this day.[#2Ki 15:19; #2Ki 17:6]
