1 Chronicles 5

¹As to sons of Reuben, first-born of Israel — for he [is] the first-born, and on account of his profaning the couch of his father hath his birthright been given to the sons of Joseph son of Israel, and [he is] not to be reckoned by genealogy for the birthright,

²for Judah hath been mighty over his brother, and for leader above him, and the birthright [is] to Joseph.

³Sons of Reuben, first-born of Israel: Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

⁴Sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,

⁵Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,

⁶Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-Pilneser king of Asshur removed; he [is] prince of the Reubenite.

⁷And his brethren, by their families, in the genealogy of their generations, [are] heads: Jeiel, and Zechariah,

⁸and Bela son of Azaz, son of Shema, son of Joel — he is dwelling in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baal-Meon;

⁹and at the east he dwelt even unto the entering in of the wilderness, even from the river Phrat, for their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead.

¹⁰And in the days of Saul they have made war with the Hagarites, who fall by their hand, and they dwell in their tents over all the face of the east of Gilead.

¹¹And the sons of Gad, over-against them have dwelt in the land of Bashan unto Salcah,

¹²Joel the head, and Shapham the second, and Jaanai and Shaphat in Bashan;
