And the children of Gad dwelt ouer against them, in the land of Bashan vnto Salchah.

These are the children of Abihail the sonne of Huri, the sonne of Iaroah, the sonne of Gilead, the sonne of Michael, the sonne of Ieshishai, the sonne of Iahdo, the sonne of Buz:

Ahi the sonne of Abdiel, the sonne of Guni, chiefe of the house of their fathers.

And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in her townes, and in all the Suburbs of Sharon, vpon their borders.

And they made warre with the Hagarites, with Ietur, and Nephish, and Nodab.

And they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were deliuered into their hand, and all that were with them: for they cried to God in the battell, and he was intreated of them, because they put their trust in him.

And they tooke away their cattell: of their camels fiftie thousand, and of sheepe two hundred and fiftie thousand, and of asses two thousand, and of men an hundred thousand.

For there fell downe many slaine, because the warre was of God. And they dwelt in their steads vntil the captiuity.
