1 And the sons of Ruben the first-born of Israel (for he was the first-born; but because of his going up to his father's couch, his father gave his blessing to his son Joseph, even the son of Israel; and he was not reckoned as first-born; 2 for Judas was very mighty even among his brethren, and one was to be a ruler out of him: but the blessing was Joseph's). 3 The sons of Ruben the first-born of Israel; Enoch, and Phallus, Asrom, and Charmi. 4 The sons of Joel; Semei, and Banaia his son: and the sons of Gug the son of Semei. 5 His son was Micha, his son Recha, his son Joel, 6 his son Beel, whom Thagla-phallasar king of Assyria carried away captive: he is the chief of the Rubenites. 7 And his brethren in his family, in their distribution according to their generations; the chief, Joel, and Zacharia. 8 And Balec the son of Azuz, the son of Sama, the son of Joel: he dwelt in Aroer, and even to Naban, and Beelmasson. 9 And he dwelt eastward to the borders of the wilderness, from the river Euphrates: for they had much cattle in the land of Galaad. 10 And in the days of Saul they made war upon the sojourners in the land ; and they fell into their hands, all of them dwelling in their tents eastward of Galaad. 11 The sons of Gad dwelt over against them in the land of Basan even to Sela. 12 Joel the first-born, and Sapham the second, and Janin the scribe in Basan. 13 And their brethren according to the houses of their fathers; Michael, Mosollam, and Sebee, and Joree, and Joachan, and Zue, and Obed, seven. 14 These are the sons of Abichaia the son of Uri, the son of Idai, the son of Galaad, the son of Michael, the son of Jesai, the son of Jeddai, the son of Buz, 15 who was the brother of the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, he was chief of the house of their families. 16 They dwelt in Galaad, in Basan, and in their villages, and in all the country round about Saron to the border. 17 The enumeration of them all took place in the days of Joatham king of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel. 1 Chronicles 5:1-17, Brenton Septuagint Translation.
