Chronicles of the Past Dynasties_Chapter 5

The eldest son of Israel was originally Reuben. Because he defiled his father’s bed, his eldest son’s title belonged to Joseph. Just according to the family tree, he is not considered the eldest son.

Judah triumphed over all his brothers, and kings also came out of him. The eldest son’s title belongs to Joseph.

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

The son of Joel was Shemaiah. The son of Shemaiah was Gog. The son of Gog was Shimei.

The son of Shimei was Micah. The son of Micah was Leaiah. The son of Leaiah was Baal.

The son of Baal is Berah. This Belah was the leader of the tribe of Reuben and was taken captive by Tigrapinezer, king of Assyria.

His brothers, according to their families and genealogy, were Jeri, Zechariah, and Belah.

Bela was the son of Asa. Asa was the son of Shimah. Shimah was the son of Joel. The place where Joel lived was from Aroer to Nebo and Baalmeon,

And they extended eastward to the wilderness on this side of the Euphrates River, because their livestock increased in the land of Gilead.

During the reign of Saul, they fought against the people of Hagar, and they fell under their command. They lived in their tents in all the land east of Gilead.

The descendants of Gad lived across from Reuben in the land of Bashan and extended to Zachariah.

Among them were Joel as the head of the clan, Shafan as the deputy head of the clan, Yanai, and Shaphat living in Bashan.

Their brothers were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jagan, Zia, and Heber, a total of seven.

These are all sons of Abihail. Abihail was the son of Huri. Huri was the son of Jeroah. Jeroa was the son of Gilead. Gilead was the son of Michael. Michael was the son of Jeshishai. Jeshishai was the son of Jehado. Jehado was the son of Booth.

And Ahi, the son of Abidiel, the grandson of Guni. These are all clan leaders.

They lived in Gilead, Bashan, and the villages of Bashan, as well as the suburbs of Shalun, until the border around them.

These people were recorded in the genealogy during the reign of King Jotham of Judah and King Jeroboam of Israel.

The people of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh were brave warriors who could wield shields and swords, draw bows and shoot arrows, and set out for battle, totaling 447600.

They fought against the people of Hagar, Ithu, Naphish, and Nodah.

They received God’s help, and the people of Hagar and those who followed her were handed over to them. Because they cried out to God on the battlefield and relied on God, and God answered them.

They plundered the livestock of the Xia Jia people, including 50000 camels, 250000 sheep, and 2000 donkeys. Another 100000 people.

Many enemies were killed and fallen, because this battle was out of God. They stayed in the enemy’s land until they were captured.

The people of the half tribe of Manasseh lived in that land. From Bashan to Baalhermon, Shinir and Mount Hermon.

Their chiefs were Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jadeal, all of whom were mighty warriors, famous men, and chiefs of their families.

They have offended the gods of their ancestors and have committed adultery by following the gods of the people of that land. This people are those whom God has destroyed before them.

Therefore, the God of Israel stirred up the hearts of King Pul of Assyria and King Tigrapinezer of Assyria, and they took the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh captive to the banks of Harah, Habo, Harah, and the River Gosan, and they are still there to this day.
