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.
