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. 2 For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph’s:) 3 The sons, I say, of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were, Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. 4 The sons of Joel; Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son, 5 Micah his son, Reaia his son, Baal his son, 6 Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites. 7 And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was reckoned, were the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah, 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: 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. 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.
11 And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in the land of Bashan unto Salchah: 12 Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat in Bashan. 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. 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; 15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the house of their fathers. 16 And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in her towns, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, upon their borders. 17 All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.
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. 19 And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Nephish, and Nodab. 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. 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. 22 For there fell down many slain, because the war was of God. And they dwelt in their steads until the captivity.
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. 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.
25 And they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went a whoring after the gods of the people of the land, whom God destroyed before them. 26 And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this day.
1 以色列的长子流本的儿子如下（流本虽然是长子， 但是因为他玷污了他父亲的床， 他长子的名分就归给以色列的儿子约瑟的儿子， 所以按着家谱他不算是长子。
2 犹大在自己的兄弟中是最强盛的， 领袖也是从他而出， 但是长子的名分却归约瑟）：
3 以色列的长子流本的儿子是哈诺、法路、希斯伦和迦米。
4 约珥的子孙如下： 约珥的儿子是示玛雅， 示玛雅的儿子是歌革， 歌革的儿子是示每，
5 示每的儿子是米迦， 米迦的儿子是利．亚雅， 利．亚雅的儿子是巴力，
6 巴力的儿子是备．拉； 备．拉被亚述王提革拉．毗尼色掳去， 他是流本支派的首领。
7 他的兄弟按着家族历代的谱系记载作首领的， 是耶利、撒迦利雅和比拉。
8 比拉是亚撒的儿子， 亚撒是示玛的儿子， 示玛是约珥的儿子。约珥住在亚罗珥， 远至尼波和巴力．免。
9 他也向东面迁居， 直到幼发拉底河这边旷野的边缘， 因为他们在基列地的牲畜增多起来。
10 扫罗在位的日子， 他们与夏甲人作战； 夏甲人败在他们手下， 他们就在基列东面的全境， 住在夏甲人的帐棚里。
11 迦得的子孙在流本支派的对面， 住在巴珊地， 直到撒迦。
12 住在巴珊的有族长约珥， 副族长沙番， 还有雅乃和沙法。
13 他们同家族的兄弟是米迦勒、米书兰、示巴、约赖、雅干、细亚和希伯， 共七人。
14 以上这些人都是亚比孩的儿子。亚比孩是户利的儿子， 户利是耶罗亚的儿子， 耶罗亚是基列的儿子， 基列是米迦勒的儿子， 米迦勒是耶示筛的儿子， 耶示筛是耶哈多的儿子， 耶哈多是布斯的儿子；
15 还有古尼的孙子、押比叠的儿子亚希， 是他们家族的首领。
16 他们住在基列、巴珊和属于巴珊的村庄， 以及沙仑的整个草场， 直到四周的边缘。
17 以上所有这些人， 在犹大王约坦和以色列王耶罗波安在位的日子， 都记载在家谱上。
18 流本支派、迦得支派和玛拿西半个支派的人， 都是勇士； 他们拿盾牌和刀剑， 能拉弓射箭， 又能出征善战的， 共有四万四千七百六十人。
19 他们与夏甲人、伊突人、拿非施人和挪答人作战。
20 他们得 神的帮助对抗敌人， 夏甲人和所有与夏甲人联盟的人， 都交在他们手中， 因为他们在作战的时候向 神呼求； 神应允了他们， 因为他们倚靠他。
21 他们又掳掠了敌人的牲畜： 骆驼五万、羊二十五万、驴二千， 以及人口十万。
22 因为这场战争是出于 神， 所以敌人被杀的很多； 他们就占领了敌人的地方， 直到被掳的时候。
23 玛拿西半个支派的人住在那地， 从巴珊直到巴力．黑门、示尼珥和黑门山， 他们人数众多。
24 以下这些人是他们各家族的族长： 以弗、以示、以列、亚斯列、耶利米、何达威雅和雅叠； 他们都是英勇的战士， 著名的人物， 也是各家族的族长。
25 他们背弃了他们列祖的 神， 随从当地民族的神行邪淫； 神曾从他们面前消灭了这些民族。
26 因此， 以色列的 神激动了亚述王普勒， 就是亚述王提革拉．毗尼色的心， 他就把流本支派、迦得支派和玛拿西半个支派的人掳到哈腊、哈博和哈拉， 以及歌散河边， 他们的后裔直到今日还在那里。
