      13:004:021 The sons of Shelah the son of Judah were, Er the father of Lecah, and Laadah the father of Mareshah, and the families of the house of them that wrought fine linen, of the house of Ashbea,

      13:004:022 And Jokim, and the men of Chozeba, and Joash, and Saraph, who had the dominion in Moab, and Jashubilehem. And these are ancient things.

      13:004:023 These were the potters, and those that dwelt among plants and hedges: there they dwelt with the king for his work.

      13:004:024 The sons of Simeon were, Nemuel, and Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul:

      13:004:026 And the sons of Mishma; Hamuel his son, Zacchur his son, Shimei his son.

      13:004:027 And Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters: but his brethren had not many children, neither did all their family multiply, like to the children of Judah.

      13:004:028 And they dwelt at Beersheba, and Moladah, and Hazarshual,

      13:004:029 And at Bilhah, and at Ezem, and at Tolad,

      13:004:030 And at Bethuel, and at Hormah, and at Ziklag,

      13:004:031 And at Bethmarcaboth, and Hazarsusim, and at Bethbirei, and at Shaaraim. These were their cities unto the reign of David.

      13:004:032 And their villages were, Etam, and Ain, Rimmon, and Tochen, and Ashan, five cities:

      13:004:033 And all their villages that were round about the same cities, unto Baal. These were their habitations, and their genealogy.

      13:004:038 These mentioned by their names were princes in their families: and the house of their fathers increased greatly.

      13:004:039 And they went to the entrance of Gedor, even unto the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.

      13:004:040 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.

      13:004:041 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.

      13:004:042 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.

      13:004:043 And they smote the rest of the Amalekites that were escaped, and dwelt there unto this day.

      13:005:001 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.

      13:005:002 For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph's:)

      13:005:003 The sons, I say, of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were, Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

      13:005:004 The sons of Joel; Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,

      13:005:005 Micah his son, Reaia his son, Baal his son,

      13:005:006 Beerah his son, whom Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.

      13:005:007 And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was reckoned, were the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,

      13:005:008 And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baalmeon:

      13:005:009 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.

      13:005:010 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.

      13:005:011 And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in the land of Bashan unto Salcah:

      13:005:012 Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat in Bashan.

      13:005:013 And their brethren of the house of their fathers were, Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan, and Zia, and Heber, seven.

      13:005:014 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;

      13:005:015 Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the house of their fathers.

      13:005:016 And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in her towns, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, upon their borders.

      13:005:017 All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

      13:005:018 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.

      13:005:019 And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Nephish, and Nodab.

      13:005:020 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.

      13:005:021 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.

      13:005:022 For there fell down many slain, because the war was of God. And they dwelt in their steads until the captivity.

      13:005:023 And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land: they increased from Bashan unto Baalhermon and Senir, and unto mount Hermon.

      13:005:024 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.

      13:005:025 And they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went a whoring after the gods of the
