1The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel—for he was the firstborn, and when he profaned his father's bed his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph son of Israel, and he was not registered according to the birthright.2For Judah prevailed among his brothers, and from him came a leader, yet the birthright belonged to Joseph.3The sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel, were Enoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.4The sons of Joel were Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, and Shimei his son.5Micah his son, Reaiah his son, and Baal his son.6Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria had carried away, was the leader for the Reubenite.7His brothers according to their families, when they were enrolled by their generations, had Jeiel as head and Zechariah.8Bela son of Azaz son of Shema son of Joel was dwelling in Aroer and as far as Nebo and Baal-meon.9Toward the East they dwelt as far as the entrance of the wilderness from the River Euphrates, because their livestock had multiplied in the land of Gilead.10In the days of Saul they made battle with the Hagri, and they fell by their hand, and they dwelt in their tents upon all the face of the East toward Gilead.
