4:27
And Shimei had

neither did all their family
multiply, like to the children of
Judah.
4:28
And they dwelt at
Beer-sheba, and Moladah, and
Hazar-shual,
4:29 And at
Bilhah, and at Ezem, and at Tolad,
4:30
And at Bethuel, and
at Hormah, and at Ziklag,
4:31
And at Beth-marcaboth,
and Hazar-susim, and at Beth- birei,
and at Shaaraim. These were
their cities unto the reign of
David.
4:32
And their villages
were, Etam, and Ain, Rimmon,
and Tochen, and Ashan, five cities:
4:33 And all
their villages that were
round about the same cities, unto
Baal. These were their
habitations, and their genealogy.

in their families: and the house of
their fathers increased greatly.
4:39
And they went to the
entrance of Gedor, even unto
the east side of the valley, to seek
pasture for their flocks.
4:40
And they found fat
pasture and good, and the land
was wide, and quiet, and
peaceable; for they of Ham
had dwelt there of old.
4:41
And these written by
name came in the days of Hezekiah
king of Judah, and smote their
tents, and the habitations that were
found there, and destroyed them
utterly unto this day, and dwelt in
their rooms: because there was
pasture there for their flocks.
4:42
And some of
them, even of the sons of
Simeon, five hundred men, went to
mount Seir, having for their
captains Pelatiah, and Neariah, and
Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of
Ishi.
4:43
And they smote the
rest of the Amalekites that were
escaped, and dwelt there unto this
day.
5:1
Now the sons of
Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for
he was the firstborn; but,
forasmuch as he defiled his father’s
bed, his birthright was given unto
the sons of Joseph the son of
Israel: and the genealogy is not to
be reckoned after the birthright.
5:2
For Judah prevailed
above his brethren, and of him
came the chief ruler; but the
birthright was Joseph’s:)
5:3
The sons, I say,
of Reuben the firstborn of Israel
were, Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron,
and Carmi.
5:4
The sons of Joel;
Shemaiah his son, Gog his son,
Shimei his son,
5:5
Micah his son, Reaia
his son, Baal his son,
5:6
Beerah his son, whom
Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria
carried away captive: he
was prince of the Reubenites.
5:7
And his brethren by
their families, when the genealogy
of their generations was reckoned,
were the chief, Jeiel, and
Zechariah,
5:8
And Bela the son of
Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of
Joel, who dwelt in Aroer, even unto
Nebo and Baal-meon:
5:9
And eastward he
inhabited unto the entering in of
the wilderness from the river
Euphrates: because their cattle were
multiplied in the land of
Gilead.
5:10
And in the days of
Saul they made war with the
Hagarites, who fell by their hand:
and they dwelt in their tents
throughout all the east land of
Gilead.
5:11
And the children of
Gad dwelt over against them, in the
land of Bashan unto Salchah:
5:12
Joel the chief, and
Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and
Shaphat in Bashan.
5:13
And their brethren
of the house of their fathers
were, Michael, and Meshullam,
and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan,
and Zia, and Heber, seven.
5:14 These
are the children of Abihail the
son of Huri, the son of Jaroah, the
son of Gilead, the son of Michael,
the son of Jeshishai, the son of
Jahdo, the son of Buz;
5:15
Ahi the son of
Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of
the house of their fathers.
5:16
And they dwelt in
Gilead in Bashan, and in her towns,
and in all the suburbs of Sharon,
upon their borders.
5:17
All these were
reckoned by genealogies in the days
of Jotham king of Judah, and in the
days of Jeroboam king of Israel.
5:18
The sons of Reuben,
and the Gadites, and half the tribe
of Manasseh, of valiant men, men
able to bear buckler and sword, and
to shoot with bow, and skilful in
war, were four and forty
thousand seven hundred and
threescore, that went out to the
war.
5:19 And they
made war with the Hagarites, with
Jetur, and Nephish, and Nodab.
5:20
And they were helped
against them, and the Hagarites were
delivered into their hand, and all
that were with them: for they
cried to God in the battle, and he
was intreated of them; because they
put their trust in him.
5:21
And they took away
their cattle; of their camels fifty
thousand, and of sheep two hundred
and fifty thousand, and of asses two
thousand, and of men an hundred
thousand.
5:22
For there fell down
many slain, because the war was
of God. And they dwelt in their
steads until the captivity.
5:23
And the children of
the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in
the land: they increased from Bashan
unto Baal-hermon and Senir, and unto
mount Hermon.
5:24
And these were
the heads of the house of their
fathers, even Epher, and Ishi, and
Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and
Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of
valour, famous men, and heads
of the house of their fathers.
5:25
And they
transgressed against the God of
their fathers, and went a whoring
after the gods of the people of the
