1 Chronicles 5:16-23 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

16. They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and in its towns, and in all the pasture lands of Sharon, as far as their borders.

17. All of these were enrolled in the genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

18. The sons of Reuben and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, consisting of valiant men, men who bore shield and sword and shot with bow and were skillful in battle, were 44,760, who went to war.

19. They made war against the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish and Nodab.

20. They were helped against them, and the Hagrites and all who were with them were given into their hand; for they cried out to God in the battle, and He answered their prayers because they trusted in Him.

21. They took away their cattle: their 50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, 2,000 donkeys; and 100,000 men.

22. For many fell slain, because the war was of God. And they settled in their place until the exile.

23. Now the sons of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land; from Bashan to Baal-hermon and Senir and Mount Hermon they were numerous.
