1 Chronicles 5:14-24

14 These were the sons of Avichayil, the son of Huri, the son of Yao`ach, the son of Gil`ad, the son of Mikha'el, the son of Yeshishai, the son of Yachdo, the son of Buz;
15 Achi the son of `Avdi'el, the son of Guni, chief of their fathers' houses.
16 They lived in Gil`ad in Bashan, and in its towns, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, as far as their borders.
17 All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Yotam king of Yehudah, and in the days of Yarov`am king of Yisra'el.
18 The sons of Re'uven, and the Gadi, and the half-tribe of Menashsheh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with bow, and skillful in war, were forty-four thousand seven hundred and sixty, that were able to go forth to war.
19 They made war with the Hagrim, with Yetur, and Nafish, and Nodav.
20 They were helped against them, and the Hagrim were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them; for they cried to God in the battle, and he was entreated of them, because they put their trust in him.
21 They took away their cattle; of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred fifty thousand, and of donkeys two thousand, and of men one hundred thousand.
22 For there fell many slain, because the war was of God. They lived in their place until the captivity.
23 The children of the half-tribe of Menashsheh lived in the land: they increased from Bashan to Ba`al-Hermon and Senir and Mount Hermon.
24 These were the heads of their fathers' houses: even `Efer, and Yish`i, and Eli'el, and `Azri'el, and Yirmeyahu, and Hodavyah, and Yachdi'el, mighty men of valor, famous men, heads of their fathers' houses.
