1 Chronicles 5:1-10

Leeser(i) 1 And the sons of Reuben the first-born of Israel—for he was the first-born; but, when the defiled his father’s bed, was his birthright given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: so that the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the first-birth. 2 For Judah became the mightiest of his brothers, and the prince descended from him: while the first-birthright belonged to Joseph,— 3 The sons of Reuben the first-born of Israel were, Chanoch, and Pallu, Chezron, and Carmi. 4 The sons of Joel: Shema’yah his son, Gog his son, Shim’i his son, 5 Michah his son, Reayah his son, Ba’al his son, 6 Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-pilneesser the king of Assyria carried into exile: he was the prince of the Reubenites. 7 And his brethren by their families, according to their genealogy after their generations, were, the chief, Je’iel, and Zecharyahu, 8 And Bela’ the son of ‘Azaz, the son of Shema’, the son of Joel, who dwelt in ‘Aro’er, and as far as Nebo and Ba’al-me’on; 9 And to the eastward he dwelt as far as the entrance of the wilderness from the river Euphrates; because their cattle were numerous in the land of Gil’ad. 10 And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarenes, who fell by their hand; and they dwelt in their tents in the whole front of the land to the east of Gil’ad.
