5The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (he was the firstborn, but when he defiled his father's marriage bed, his rights as firstborn were given to the sons of Joseph son of Israel; so he could not be listed in the genealogical record in accordance with his birthright,H1121H7205H1060H3478H1060H2490H1H3326H1062H5414H1121H3130H1121H3478H3187H10622and though Judah was the strongest of his brothers and a ruler came from him, the rights of the firstborn belonged to Joseph)--H3063H1396H251H5057H1062H31303the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron and Carmi.H1121H7205H1060H3478H2585H6396H2696H37564The descendants of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,H1121H3100H8098H1121H1463H1121H8096H11215Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,H4318H1121H7211H1121H1168H11216and Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria took into exile.

He answered their prayers, because they trusted in him.H5826H1905H5414H3027H2199H430H4421H6279H98221They seized the livestock of the Hagrites--fifty thousand camels, two hundred fifty thousand sheep and two thousand donkeys. They also took one hundred thousand people captive,H7617H4735H1581H2572H505H6629H3967H2572H505H2543H505H120H5315H3967H50522and many others fell slain, because the battle was God's. And they occupied the land until the exile.H5307H7227H2491H4421H430H3427H147323The people of the half-tribe of Manasseh were numerous; they settled in the land from Bashan to Baal Hermon, that is, to Senir (Mount Hermon).H1121H2677H7626H4519H3427H776H7235H1316H1179H8149H2022H276824These were the heads of their families: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah and Jahdiel.

He took them to Halah, Habor, Hara and the river of Gozan, where they are to this day.H430H3478H5782H7307H6322H4428H804H7307H8407H4428H804H1540H7206H1425H2677H7626H4519H935H2477H2249H2024H5104H1470H3117

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
