A king from Assyria named Tiglath-Pileser took Beerah away. Beerah was a leader of Reuben’s people. ➡️♂️ 7 His family groups were written down. The leaders were Jeiel and Zechariah. 8 Bela, son of Azaz, son of Shema, son of Joel, lived in Aroer, and by Nebo and Baal-meon. ️ 9 They lived to the east by the big desert near the big river because they had many animals in Gilead. ️ 10 In Saul’s days, they fought the Hagrites, won, and lived in their tents east of Gilead. ⚔️⛺ 11 The Gad people lived next to them in Bashan, as far as Salecah. ️ 12 Leaders were Joel first, Shapham second, and Janai and Shaphat in Bashan. ⭐ 13 Family with them were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber—seven men. 7️⃣ 14 These came from Abihail, son of Huri, son of Jaroah, son of Gilead, son of Michael, son of Jeshishai, son of Jahdo, son of Buz. 15 Ahi, son of Abdiel, son of Guni, was a leader. ✈️ 16 They lived in Gilead, in Bashan, in the towns, and in the green fields of Sharon. 17 All these names were written in the days of Jotham, king of Judah, and Jeroboam, king of Israel. 18 Men of Reuben, Gad, and half of Manasseh were strong. They had shields, swords, and bows. Many men could fight. ️️ 19 They fought the Hagrites, and also Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab. ⚔️ 20 They cried to God in the fight. God helped them because they trusted Him. They won. ⚔️ 21 They took many camels, many sheep, many donkeys, and many people. 22 Many fell in the fight, for God was in that war.
