Contextual Overview

1 Reuben was the first-born son of Israel but because he sinned against his father's marriage bed, his birth-right was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel. Reuben is not written down in the family names by his birth-right. 2 Judah became stronger than his brothers, and a prince came from him. But the birth-right belonged to Joseph. 3 The sons of Reuben the first-born of Israel were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron and Carmi. 4 The sons of Joel were Shemaiah, Gog his son, Shimei his son, 5 Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son, 6 and Beerah his son. Beerah was the one whom Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria carried away to a strange land. He was a leader of the Reubenites. 7 These are his brothers by their families, from the writings of their family names. There was Jeiel the leader, then Zechariah, 8 and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who lived in Aroer as far as Nebo and Baal-meon. 9 He lived as far east as the beginning of the desert this side of the Euphrates River, because their cattle had become too many for the land of Gilead. 10 In the days of Saul they made war with the Hagrites and killed them. So they lived in their tents over all the land east of Gilead.
