Contextual Overview

1 And the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, for, he, was the firstborn, but because he defiled the couch of his father, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph son of Israel, - and he is not to be enrolled in the place of firstborn, 2 for, Judah, prevailed over his brethren, so that, even the prince, is from him, - although, the birthright, pertaineth to Joseph; 3 the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi. 4 The sons of Joel, Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son; 5 Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son; 6 Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria carried away captive, - he, was a leader to the Reubenites; 7 and his brethren, by his families, in the genealogical registering, by their generations, - the chief Jeiel, and Zechariah; 8 and Bela, the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, - he, dwelt in Aroer, even as far as Nebo, and Baal-meon; 9 and, eastward, dwelt he as far as the entering in of the desert, 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 Hagrites, who fell by their hand, - so they dwelt in their tents, over all the face of the land east of Gilead.
