The History of the Two and a Half Tribes

18 The sons of Reuben and the Gadites and the half-tribe e of Manasseh , consisting of valiant men , men who bore shield and sword and shot with bow and were skillful in battle , were 44,760 e e e e e , who went to war . 19 They made war against the Hagrites , Jetur , Naphish and Nodab . 20 They were helped against them, and the Hagrites and all who were with them were given into their hand ; for they cried out to God in the battle , and He answered their prayers because they trusted in Him. 21 They took away their cattle : their 50,000 e camels , 250,000 e e sheep , 2,000 donkeys ; and 100,000 e men e . 22 For many fell slain , because the war was of God . And they settled in their place until the exile . 23 Now the sons of the half-tribe e of Manasseh lived in the land ; from Bashan to Baal-hermon and Senir and Mount Hermon they were numerous . 24 These were the heads of their fathers' households , even Epher , Ishi , Eliel , Azriel , Jeremiah , Hodaviah and Jahdiel , mighty men of valor , famous men , heads of their fathers' households . 25 But they acted treacherously against the God of their fathers and played the harlot after the gods of the peoples of the land , whom God had destroyed before e them. 26 So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul , king of Assyria , even the spirit of Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria , and he carried them away into exile , namely the Reubenites , the Gadites and the half-tribe e of Manasseh , and brought them to Halah , Habor , Hara and to the river of Gozan , to this day .
