Descendants of Gad
11 The sons of Gad lived over against them in the land of Bashan as far as
1Salecah:
12
Joel the chief, Shapham the second, Janai, and Shaphat in Bashan.
13
And their kinsmen according to their fathers' houses: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia and Eber, seven.
14
These were the sons of Abihail the son of Huri, son of Jaroah, son of Gilead, son of Michael, son of Jeshishai, son of Jahdo, son of Buz.
15
Ahi the son of Abdiel, son of Guni, was chief in their fathers' houses,
16
and they lived in Gilead, in Bashan and in its towns, and in all the pasturelands of
2Sharon to their limits.
17
All of these were recorded in genealogies in the days of
3Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of
4Jeroboam king of Israel.
18
The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had valiant men who carried shield and sword, and drew the bow,
5expert in war, 44,760, able to go to war.
19
They waged war against the
6Hagrites,
7Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.
20
And when they prevailed over them, the Hagrites and all who were with them were given into their hands,
8for they cried out to God in the battle, and he granted their urgent plea
9because they trusted in him.
21
They carried off their livestock: 50,000 of their camels, 250,000 sheep, 2,000 donkeys, and 100,000 men alive.
22
For many fell, because the war was of God. And they lived
10in their place until
11the exile.
