Divrei HaYamim I 5 דברי הימים א ה׳

Now the sons of Re᾽uven the firstborn of Yisra᾽el, (for he was the firstborn; but, since he defiled his father’s bed, his birthright was given to the sons of Yosef the son of Yisra᾽el: but not so as to have the birthright attributed to him by genealogy.

For Yehuda prevailed over his brothers, and of him came the chief ruler; though the birthright was Yosef’s:)

the sons of Re᾽uven the firstborn of Yisra᾽el were, Ḥanokh, and Pallu, Ḥeżron, and Karmi.

The sons of Yo᾽el; Shema῾ya his son, Gog his son, Shim῾i his son,

Mikha his son, Re᾽aya his son, Ba῾al his son,

Be᾽era his son, whom Tilgat-piln᾽eser king of Ashshur carried away into exile: he was prince of the Re᾽uveni.

And his brothers by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was reckoned, were the chief, Ye῾i᾽el, and Zekharyahu,

and Bela the son of ῾Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Yo᾽el, who dwelt in ῾Aro῾er, as far as Nevo and Ba῾al-me῾on:

and eastward he inhabited as far as the entrance of the wilderness from the river Perat: because their cattle had multiplied in the land of Gil῾ad.

And in the days of Sha᾽ul they made war with the Hagri᾽im, who fell by their hand: and they dwelt in their tents throughout all the east land of Gil῾ad.

And the children of Gad dwelt opposite them, in the land of the Bashan as far as Salkha:

Yo᾽el the chief, and Shafam the next, and Ya῾nay, and Shafat in the Bashan.

And their brethren of the house of their fathers were, Mikha᾽el, and Meshullam, and Sheva, and Yoray, and Ya῾kan, and Zia, and ῾Ever; seven.

These are the children of Aviĥayil the son of Ḥuri, the son of Yaroaĥ, the son of Gil῾ad, the son of Mikha᾽el, the son of Yeshishay, the son of Yaĥdo, the son of Buz;

Aĥi the son of Avdi᾽el, the son of Guni, chief of the house of their fathers.

And they dwelt in Gil῾ad in the Bashan, and in its hamlets, and in all the pasture lands of Sharon, to their limits.

All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Yotam king of Yehuda, and in the days of Yarov῾am king of Yisra᾽el.

The sons of Re᾽uven, and the Gadi, and half the tribe of Menashshe, of men at arms, able to bear shield and sword, and to draw the bow, and skilful in war, were forty four thousand seven hundred and sixty, who went out to war.

And they made war with the Hagri᾽im, with Yetur, and Nafish, and Nodav.

And they were helped against them, and the Hagri᾽im were delivered into their hand, and all that were with them: for they cried to God in the battle, and he granted their entreaty: because they put their trust in him.

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 a hundred thousand.

For there fell down many slain, because the war was from God. And they dwelt in their stead until the exile.

And the children of the half tribe of Menashshe dwelt in the land: they increased from Bashan to Ba῾al-ĥermon and Senir, and to mount Ḥermon.

And these were the heads of the houses of their fathers, ῾Efer, and Yish῾i, and Eli᾽el, and ῾Azri᾽el, and Yirmeya, and Hodavya, and Yaĥdi᾽el, mighty men of valour, famous men, and heads of the houses of their fathers.

And they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went astray after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God destroyed before them.

And the God of Yisra᾽el stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Ashshur, and the spirit of Tilgat-piln᾽eser king of Ashshur, and he carried them away, namely the Re᾽uveni, and the Gadi, and the half tribe of Menashshe, and brought them to Ḥalaĥ, and Ḥavor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, to this day.

The sons of Levi; Gershon, Qehat, and Merari.

And the sons of Qehat; ῾Amram, Yiżhar, and Ḥevron, and ῾Uzzi᾽el.

And the children of ῾Amram: Aharon, and Moshe, and Miryam. And the sons of Aharon; Nadav, and Avihu, El῾azar, and Itamar.

El῾azar begot Pineĥas, Pineĥas begot Avishua,

and Avishua begot Buqqi, and Buqqi begot ῾Uzzi,

and ῾Uzzi begot Zeraĥya, and Zeraĥya begot Merayot;

Merayot begot Amarya, and Amarya begot Aĥituv,

and Aĥituv begot Żadoq, and Żadoq begot Aĥima῾aż,

and Aĥima῾aż begot ῾Azarya, and ῾Azarya begot Yoĥanan,

and Yoĥanan begot ῾Azarya, (he it is who executed the priest’s office in the temple that Shelomo built in Yerushalayim:)

and ῾Azarya begot Amarya, and Amarya begot Aĥituv,

and Aĥituv begot Żadoq, and Żadoq begot Shallum,

and Shallum begot Ḥilqiyya, and Ḥilqiyya begot ῾Azarya,

and ῾Azarya begot Seraya, and Seraya begot Yehożadaq,

and Yehożadaq went into exile, when the Lord carried away Yehuda and Yerushalayim by the hand of Nevu­khad­neżżar.
