1 Chronicles 5:11-22 - The Descendants Of Gad

¹¹ And the Children of Gad dwelt over against them in the land of Bashan, even unto Salecah. ¹² And in Bashan, Joel was the chiefest and Shapham the next, then Janai and Shaphat. ¹³ And their brethren, in the ancient households of them, were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber, seven. ¹⁴ These were the children of Abihail the son of Huri the son of Jaroah Gilead the son of Michael the son of Jeshishai the son of Jahdo the son of Buz. ¹⁵ Ahi was the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, the head of an ancient household among them. ¹⁶ And they dwelt in Gilead and in Bashan and her towns, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, even unto the end of their borders. ¹⁷ And they were all reckoned by kindreds in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

¹⁸ The sons of Reuben of Gad and of half the tribe of Manasseh, even of fighting men able to bear shield and sword, and shoot with bow, and taught to make war, were four and forty thousand seven hundred and three score that went out to battle. ¹⁹ And they fought with the Hagrities and with Jetur, Naphish and Nodab. ²⁰ And they were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hands with all that were with the Hagrites. For they cried to God in their battle, and he heard them, because they trusted to him. ²¹ And they took of their cattle fifty thousand camels, and two hundred and fifty thousand sheep, and two thousand asses, and of the people a hundred thousand: ²² for there fell many dead because the war was of God. And they dwelt there in their steads until the time that they were carried away.
