No trace of them remains today. They killed everyone who lived there and took the land for themselves, because they wanted its good pastureland for their flocks.H3789H8034H935H3117H3169H4428H3063H5221H168H4583H4672H2763H3117H3427H4829H662942Five hundred of these invaders from the tribe of Simeon went to Mount Seir, led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel—all sons of Ishi.H1121H8095H2568H3967H582H1980H2022H8165H7218H6410H5294H7509H5816H1121H346943They destroyed the few Amalekites who had survived, and they have lived there ever since.H5221H7611H6002H6413H3427H3117

5The oldest son of Israel was Reuben. But since he dishonored his father by sleeping with one of his father's concubines, his birthright was given to the sons of his brother Joseph. For this reason, Reuben is not listed in the genealogical records as the firstborn son.H1121H7205H1060H3478H1060H2490H1H3326H1062H5414H1121H3130H1121H3478H3187H10622The descendants of Judah became the most powerful tribe and provided a ruler for the nation, but the birthright belonged to Joseph.H3063H1396H251H5057H1062H31303The sons of Reuben, the oldest son of Israel, were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.H1121H7205H1060H3478H2585H6396H2696H37564The descendants of Joel were Shemaiah, Gog, Shimei,H1121H3100H8098H1121H1463H1121H8096H11215Micah, Reaiah, Baal,H4318H1121H7211H1121H1168H11216and Beerah.

The Reubenites lived in the area that stretches from Aroer to Nebo and Baal-meon.H1106H1121H5811H1121H8087H1121H3100H3427H6177H5015H11869And since they had so many livestock in the land of Gilead, they spread east toward the edge of the desert that stretches to the Euphrates River.H4217H3427H935H4057H5104H6578H4735H7235H776H156810During the reign of Saul, the Reubenites defeated the Hagrites in battle. Then they moved into the Hagrite settlements all along the eastern edge of Gilead.H3117H7586H6213H4421H1905H5307H3027H3427H168H6440H4217H156811Next to the Reubenites, the descendants of Gad lived in the land of Bashan as far east as Salecah.H1121H1410H3427H776H1316H554812Joel was the leader in the land of Bashan, and Shapham was second-in-command, followed by Janai and Shaphat.H3100H7218H8223H4932H3285H8202H131613Their relatives, the leaders of seven other clans, were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber.H251H1004H1H4317H4918H7652H3140H3275H2127H5677H765114These were all descendants of Abihail son of Huri, son of Jaroah, son of Gilead, son of Michael, son of Jeshishai, son of Jahdo, son of Buz.H1121H32H1121H2359H1121H3386H1121H1568H1121H4317H1121H3454H1121H3163H1121H93815Ahi son of Abdiel, son of Guni, was the leader of their clans.H277H1121H5661H1121H1476H7218H1004H116The Gadites lived in the land of Gilead, in Bashan and its villages, and throughout all the pasturelands of Sharon.H3427H1568H1316H1323H4054H8289H844417All of these were listed in the genealogical records during the days of King Jotham of Judah and King Jeroboam of Israel.H3187H3117H3147H4428H3063H3117H3379H4428H347818There were 44,760 capable warriors in the armies of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. They were all skilled in combat and armed with shields, swords, and bows.H1121H7205H1425H2677H7626H4519H2428H582H5375H4043H2719H1869H7198H3925H4421H702H705H505H7651H3967H8346H3318H663519They waged war against the Hagrites, the Jeturites, the Naphishites, and the Nodabites.H6213H4421H1905H3195H5305H511420They cried out to God during the battle, and he answered their prayer because they trusted in him. So the Hagrites and all their allies were defeated.H5826H1905H5414H3027H2199H430H4421H6279H98221The plunder taken from the Hagrites included 50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep and goats, 2,000 donkeys, and 100,000 captives.H7617H4735H1581H2572H505H6629H3967H2572H505H2543H505H120H5315H3967H50522Many of the Hagrites were killed in the battle because God was fighting against them. The people of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh lived in their land until they were taken into exile.H5307H7227H2491H4421H430H3427H147323The half-tribe of Manasseh was very large and spread through the land from Bashan to Baal-hermon, Senir, and Mount Hermon.H1121H2677H7626H4519H3427H776H7235H1316H1179H8149H2022H276824These were the leaders of their clans: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. These men had a great reputation as mighty warriors and leaders of their clans.H7218H1004H1H6081H3469H447H5837H3414H1938H3164H1368H582H2428H8034H582H7218H1004H125But these tribes were unfaithful to the God of their ancestors. They worshiped the gods of the nations that God had destroyed.H4603H430H1H2181H310H430H5971H776H430H8045H644026So the God of Israel caused King Pul of Assyria (also known as Tiglath-pileser) to invade the land and take away the people of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh as captives. The Assyrians exiled them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the Gozan River, where they remain to this day.H430H3478H5782H7307H6322H4428H804H7307H8407H4428H804H1540H7206H1425H2677H7626H4519H935H2477H2249H2024H5104H1470H3117

10Now the Philistines attacked Israel, and the men of Israel fled before them. Many were slaughtered on the slopes of Mount Gilboa.H6430H3898H3478H376H3478H5127H6440H6430H5307H2491H2022H15332The Philistines closed in on Saul and his sons, and they killed three of his sons—Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malkishua.H6430H1692H310H7586H310H1121H6430H5221H3129H41H4444H1121H75863The fighting grew very fierce around Saul, and the Philistine archers caught up with him and wounded him.H4421H3513H7586H3384H7198H4672H2342H33844Saul groaned to his armor bearer, "Take your sword and kill me before these pagan Philistines come to taunt and torture me." But his armor bearer was afraid and would not do it. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.H559H7586H5375H3627H8025H2719H1856H6189H935H5953H5375H3627H14H3966H3372H7586H3947H2719H53075When his armor bearer realized that Saul was dead, he fell on his own sword and died.H5375H3627H7200H7586H4191H5307H2719H41916So Saul and his three sons died there together, bringing his dynasty to an end.H7586H4191H7969H1121H1004H4191H31627When all the Israelites in the Jezreel Valley saw that their army had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their towns and fled. So the Philistines moved in and occupied their towns.H376H3478H6010H7200H5127H7586H1121H4191H5800H5892H5127H6430H935H34278The next day, when the Philistines went out to strip the dead, they found the bodies of Saul and his sons on Mount Gilboa.H4283H6430H935H6584H2491H4672H7586H1121H5307H2022H15339So they stripped off Saul's armor and cut off his head. Then they proclaimed the good news of Saul's death before their idols and to the people throughout the land of Philistia.H6584H5375H7218H3627H7971H776H6430H5439H1319H6091H597110They placed his armor in the temple of their gods, and they fastened his head to the temple of Dagon.H7760H3627H1004H430H8628H1538H1004H171211But when everyone in Jabesh-gilead heard about everything the Philistines had done to Saul,H3003H1568H8085H6430H6213H758612all their mighty warriors brought the bodies of Saul and his sons back to Jabesh. Then they buried their bones beneath the great tree at Jabesh, and they fasted for seven days.H6965H2428H376H5375H1480H7586H1480H1121H935H3003H6912H6106H424H3003H6684H7651H311713So Saul died because he was unfaithful to the LORD. He failed to obey the LORD's command, and he even consulted a mediumH7586H4191H4604H4603H3068H1697H3068H8104H7592H178H187514instead of asking the LORD for guidance. So the LORD killed him and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse.H1875H3068H4191H5437H4410H1732H1121H3448
