Settings

21 They took away their cattle: their 50,000 * camels, 250,000 * * sheep, 2,000 donkeys; and 100,000 * men *.
22 For many fell slain, because 1the war was of God. And 2they settled in their place until the 3exile.
23 Now the sons of the half-tribe * of Manasseh lived in the land; from Bashan to Baal-hermon and 4Senir and Mount Hermon they were numerous.
24 These were the heads of their fathers' households, even Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah and Jahdiel, mighty men of valor, famous men, heads of their fathers' households.
25 But they 5acted treacherously against the God of their fathers and 6played the harlot 7after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before * them.
26 So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of 8Pul, king of Assyria, even the spirit of Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria, and he 9carried them away into exile, namely the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe * of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara and to the river of Gozan, to this day.
