Genealogy from Reuben
1Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for (A)he was the firstborn, but because (B)he defiled his father's bed, (C)his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel; so that he is not enrolled in the genealogy according to the birthright.
2(D)Though Judah prevailed over his brothers, and (E)from him came the leader, yet the birthright belonged to Joseph),
18The sons of Reuben and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, consisting of valiant men, men who bore shield and sword and shot with bow and were skillful in battle, were 44,760, who (Q)went to war.
19They made war against (R)the Hagrites, (S)Jetur, Naphish and Nodab.
20They were helped against them, and the Hagrites and all who were with them were given into their hand; for (T)they cried out to God in the battle, and He answered their prayers because (U)they trusted in Him.
25But they (Z)acted treacherously against the God of their fathers and (AA)played the harlot (AB)after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.
26So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of (AC)Pul, king of Assyria, even the spirit of Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria, and he (AD)carried them away into exile, namely the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara and to the river of Gozan, to this day.
