Settings

18 The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had valiant men who carried shield and sword, and drew the bow, 1expert in war, 44,760, able to go to war.
19 They waged war against the 2Hagrites, 3Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.
20 And when they prevailed over them, the Hagrites and all who were with them were given into their hands, 4for they cried out to God in the battle, and he granted their urgent plea 5because 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 6in their place until 7the exile.
