1 Chronicles 5:22

Compare all

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.

24 These were the heads of their fathers’ houses: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were mighty men of valor, famous men, and heads of their fathers’ houses.
