So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, the spirit of Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and he took them into exile, namely, the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river Gozan, to this day.

And Leah said,“ Good fortune has come!” so she called his name Gad.

Now the people of Reuben and the people of Gad had a very great number of livestock. And they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, and behold, the place was a place for livestock.So the people of Gad and the people of Reuben came and said to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to the chiefs of the congregation,“ Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,the land that the Lord struck down before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock, and your servants have livestock.”And they said,“ If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession. Do not take us across the Jordan.”But Moses said to the people of Gad and to the people of Reuben,“ Shall your brothers go to the war while you sit here?Why will you discourage the heart of the people of Israel from going over into the land that the Lord has given them?Your fathers did this, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.For when they went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the people of Israel from going into the land that the Lord had given them.And the Lord’s anger was kindled on that day, and he swore, saying,‘ Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land that I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, because they have not wholly followed me,none except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have wholly followed the Lord.’And the Lord’s anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of the Lord was gone.And behold, you have risen in your fathers’ place, a brood of sinful men, to increase still more the fierce anger of the Lord against Israel!For if you turn away from following him, he will again abandon them in the wilderness, and you will destroy all this people.”Then they came near to him and said,“ We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones,but we will take up arms, ready to go before the people of Israel, until we have brought them to their place. And our little ones shall live in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.We will not return to our homes until each of the people of Israel has gained his inheritance.For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on this side of the Jordan to the east.”So Moses said to them,“ If you will do this, if you will take up arms to go before the Lord for the war,and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before the Lord, until he has driven out his enemies from before himand the land is subdued before the Lord; then after that you shall return and be free of obligation to the Lord and to Israel, and this land shall be your possession before the Lord.But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the Lord, and be sure your sin will find you out.Build cities for your little ones and folds for your sheep, and do what you have promised.”And the people of Gad and the people of Reuben said to Moses,“ Your servants will do as my lord commands.Our little ones, our wives, our livestock, and all our cattle shall remain there in the cities of Gilead,but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before the Lord to battle, as my lord orders.”So Moses gave command concerning them to Eleazar the priest and to Joshua the son of Nun and to the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the people of Israel.And Moses said to them,“ If the people of Gad and the people of Reuben, every man who is armed to battle before the Lord, will pass with you over the Jordan and the land shall be subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession.However, if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.”And the people of Gad and the people of Reuben answered,“ What the Lord has said to your servants, we will do.We will pass over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan.”And Moses gave to them, to the people of Gad and to the people of Reuben and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land and its cities with their territories, the cities of the land throughout the country.And the people of Gad built Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,Beth-nimrah and Beth-haran, fortified cities, and folds for sheep.And the people of Reuben built Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,Nebo, and Baal-meon( their names were changed), and Sibmah. And they gave other names to the cities that they built.And the sons of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead and captured it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were in it.And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh, and he settled in it.And Jair the son of Manasseh went and captured their villages, and called them Havvoth-jair.And Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.

And of Gad he said,“ Blessed be he who enlarges Gad! Gad crouches like a lion; he tears off arm and scalp.He chose the best of the land for himself, for there a commander’s portion was reserved; and he came with the heads of the people, with Israel he executed the justice of the Lord, and his judgments for Israel.”

Malchiram, Pedaiah, Shenazzar, Jekamiah, Hoshama and Nedabiah;and the sons of Pedaiah: Zerubbabel and Shimei; and the sons of Zerubbabel: Meshullam and Hananiah, and Shelomith was their sister;and Hashubah, Ohel, Berechiah, Hasadiah, and Jushab-hesed, five.The sons of Hananiah: Pelatiah and Jeshaiah, his son Rephaiah, his son Arnan, his son Obadiah, his son Shecaniah.The son of Shecaniah: Shemaiah. And the sons of Shemaiah: Hattush, Igal, Bariah, Neariah, and Shaphat, six.

The sons of Gad lived over against them in the land of Bashan as far as Salecah:Joel the chief, Shapham the second, Janai, and Shaphat in Bashan.And their kinsmen according to their fathers’ houses: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia and Eber, seven.These were the sons of Abihail the son of Huri, son of Jaroah, son of Gilead, son of Michael, son of Jeshishai, son of Jahdo, son of Buz.Ahi the son of Abdiel, son of Guni, was chief in their fathers’ houses,and they lived in Gilead, in Bashan and in its towns, and in all the pasturelands of Sharon to their limits.All of these were recorded in genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had valiant men who carried shield and sword, and drew the bow, expert in war, 44,760, able to go to war.They waged war against the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.And when they prevailed over them, the Hagrites and all who were with them were given into their hands, for they cried out to God in the battle, and he granted their urgent plea because they trusted in him.They carried off their livestock: 50,000 of their camels, 250,000 sheep, 2,000 donkeys, and 100,000 men alive.For many fell, because the war was of God. And they lived in their place until the exile.

After Abimelech there arose to save Israel Tola the son of Puah, son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, and he lived at Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim.And he judged Israel twenty-three years. Then he died and was buried at Shamir.After him arose Jair the Gileadite, who judged Israel twenty-two years.And he had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys, and they had thirty cities, called Havvoth-jair to this day, which are in the land of Gilead.And Jair died and was buried in Kamon.The people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and served the Baals and the Ashtaroth, the gods of Syria, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites, and the gods of the Philistines. And they forsook the Lord and did not serve him.So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines and into the hand of the Ammonites,and they crushed and oppressed the people of Israel that year. For eighteen years they oppressed all the people of Israel who were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.And the Ammonites crossed the Jordan to fight also against Judah and against Benjamin and against the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was severely distressed.And the people of Israel cried out to the Lord, saying,“ We have sinned against you, because we have forsaken our God and have served the Baals.”And the Lord said to the people of Israel,“ Did I not save you from the Egyptians and from the Amorites, from the Ammonites and from the Philistines?

With the other half of the tribe of Manasseh the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of the Lord gave them:

The sons of Gad: Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli.
