The descendants of Reuben

1Ch 5:1–10

5Reuben was the firstborn of Yisrael (or Israel, also known as Yakov/Jacob), but when he had sex with one of his father’s slave wives, his birthright was given to the sons of Yosef (Joseph), another one of Yisrael’s sons. So Reuben wasn’t recorded as inheriting the birthright,[ref] 2and although Yehudah (Judah) was stronger than his other brothers and would be the son to produce a ruler, the birthright went to Yosef. 3The sons of Yisrael’s eldest son Rueben were Hanok, Pallu, Hetsron, and Karmi.

4Another descendant of Reuben was Yoel and his son was Shemayah. Shemayah’s son was Gog. Gog’s son was Shimei.[ref] 5Shimei’s son was Mikah. Mikah’s son was Reayah. Reayah’s son was Baal. 6Baal’s son was Beerah who became a leader of the Reubenites, but the Assyrian King Tiglat-Pileser captured him and took him back to Assyria. 7His brothers by their clans, as listed in their genealogical records: Yeiel the leader, Zekaryah, 8Bela son of Azaz, son of Shema, son of Yoel. Reuben’s clan lived near the city of Aroer as far north as the cities of Nevo and Baal-Meon. 9Some of them lived further east, as far as the edge of the desert that extends to the Euphrates River, because their livestock had multiplied back in the Gilead region. 10(In the days of King Shaul (Saul), they’d battled with the Hagrites and defeated them, so then they’d lived in their tents over all eastern Gilead.)
