40 And they found abundant, rich pasture with and a wide, quiet and fruitful land. For the Hamites had dwelt there before.

41 And those described here by name came in the days of Hezekiah, king of Judah, and struck their tents, and the inhabitants who were found there, and destroyed them utterly to this day, and dwelt in their space, because there was pasture there for their sheep.

42 And besides these, five hundred men of the sons of Simeon went to Mount Seir. And Pelatiah and Neariah and Rephaiah and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, were their captains.

43 And they struck the rest of Amalek who had escaped. And they dwell there to this day.

Also the sons of Reuben, the eldest son of Israel— for he was the eldest but had defiled his father’s bed. Therefore, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel, so that the genealogy is not listed by birthright.

For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and from him came the Prince. But the birthright was Joseph’s—

the sons of Reuben, the eldest son of Israel, were Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi.

18 The sons of Reuben and of Gad and of half the tribe of Manasseh, of those who were valiant men, able to bear shield and sword, and to draw a bow exercised in war, were forty-four thousand seven hundred sixty, who went out to the war.

19 And they made war with the Hagrites, with Jetur and Naphish and Nodab.

20 And they were helped in fighting them. And the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them. For they cried to God in the battle, and He heard them, because they trusted in Him.

21 And they led away their cattle, their fifty thousand camels and two hundred fifty thousand sheep and two thousand donkeys, and a hundred thousand people.

22 For many fell down wounded, because the war was of God. And they dwelt in their places until the Captivity.

23 And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land, from Bashan to Baal Hermon and Senir and to Mount Hermon. For they increased.

24 And these were the heads of the households of their fathers: Epher and Ishi and Eliel and Azriel and Jeremiah and Hodaviah and Jahdiel, strong men, valiant and famous, heads of the households of their fathers.

25 But they transgressed against the God of their fathers and went a whoring after the gods of the people of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.

26 And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul, king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tiglath-Pileser, king of Assyria. And he carried them away— the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half tribe of Manasseh— and brought them to Halah and Habor and Hara and to the river Gozan, to this day.

The sons of Levi were Gershon, Kohath and Merari.
