5:19 And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Nephish, and Nodab.

5:20 And they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered into their hand, and all that were with them: for they cried to G.o.d in the battle, and he was intreated of them; because they put their trust in him.

5:21 And they took away their cattle; of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and of a.s.ses two thousand, and of men an hundred thousand.

5:22 For there fell down many slain, because the war was of G.o.d. And they dwelt in their steads until the captivity.

5:23 And the children of the half tribe of Mana.s.seh dwelt in the land: they increased from Bashan unto Baalhermon and Senir, and unto mount Hermon.

5:24 And these were the heads of the house of their fathers, even Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valour, famous men, and heads of the house of their fathers.

5:25 And they transgressed against the G.o.d of their fathers, and went a whoring after the G.o.ds of the people of the land, whom G.o.d destroyed before them.

5:26 And the G.o.d of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of a.s.syria, and the spirit of Tilgathpilneser king of a.s.syria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Mana.s.seh, and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this day.
