1 Chronicles 5:18-21

18 The sons of Reuben and the Gadites and the half-tribe * of Manasseh, consisting of valiant men, men who bore shield and sword and shot with bow and were skillful in battle, were 44,760 * * * * *, who ¹went to war.

19 They made war against ²the Hagrites, ³Jetur, Naphish and Nodab.

20 They were helped against them, and the Hagrites and all who were with them were given into their hand; for ⁴they cried out to God in the battle, and He answered their prayers because ⁵they trusted in Him.

21 They took away their cattle: their 50,000 * camels, 250,000 * * sheep, 2,000 donkeys; and 100,000 * men *.
