1 Chronicles 5:18
Compare all
16 And the Gadites dwelt in Gilead, in Bashan and in its villages, and in all the1 common-lands of aSharon within their borders.  
17 All these were registered by genealogies in the days of aJotham king of Judah, and in the days of bJeroboam king of Israel.  
18 The sons of Reuben, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh had forty-four thousand seven hundred and sixty valiant men, men able to bear shield and sword, to shoot with the bow, and skillful in war, who went to war.
19 They made war with the Hagrites, aJetur, Naphish, and Nodab.  
20 And athey were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them, for they bcried out to God in the battle. He1 heeded their prayer, because they cput their trust in Him.  
21 Then they took away their livestock—fifty thousand of their camels, two hundred and fifty thousand of their sheep, and two thousand of their donkeys—also one hundred thousand of their men;
22 for many fell dead, because the war awas God’s. And they dwelt in their place until bthe captivity.  

The Family of Manasseh (East)

23 So the children of the half-tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land. Their numbers increased from Bashan to Baal Hermon, that is, to aSenir, or Mount Hermon.

1 Chronicles 5:1-26

Genealogies.

- This chapter gives some account of the two tribes and a half seated on the east side of Jordan. They were made captives by the king of Assyria, because they had forsaken the Lord. Only two things are here recorded concerning these tribes. 1. They all shared in a victory. Happy is that people who live in harmony together, who assist each other against the common enemies of their souls, trusting in the Lord, and calling upon him. 2. They shared in captivity. They would have the best land, not considering that it lay most exposed. The desire of earthly objects draws to a distance from God's ordinances, and prepares men for destruction.
