And, the sons of Gad, over against them, dwelt, in the land of Bashan, as far as Salecah:

Joel the chief, and Shapham, the second, - and Janai and Shaphat, in Bashan;

and their brethren of their ancestral house, Michael and Meshullam and Sheba and Jorai and Jacan and Zia and Eber, seven.

These, were the sons of Abihail, son of Huri, son of Jaroah, son of Gilead, son of Michael, son of Jehishai, son of Jahdo, son of Buz,

Ahi son of Abdiel, son of Guni, chief of their ancestral house;

and they dwelt in Gilead - in Bashan, and in her villages, - and in all the pasture-lands of Sharon, up to their outgoings.

All of them, were genealogically registered in the days of Jotham king of Judah, - and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

the sons of Reuben and Gad, and half tribe of Manasseh, of the sons of valour, men bearing shield and sword and bending the bow, and instructed in war, were forty-four thousand and seven hundred and sixty, ready to go forth in the host.

So they made war with the Hagrites, - and Jetur and Naphish, and Nodab;

and were helped against them, and the Hagrites and all that were with them were delivered into their hand, - for, unto God, made they outcry, in the war, and he suffered himself to be entreated by them, because they put their trust in him;

and they captured their cattle - their camels, fifty thousand, and, flocks, two hundred and fifty thousand, and, asses, two thousand, - and, persons of men, a hundred thousand;

for, many slain, fell, for, of God, was the war, - and they dwelt in their stead, until the captivity.
