18 All of these went out to war and fought against the inhabitants of Sekah. 19 And they were delivered into their hands, for they prayed to the LORD in the battle, and he heard their voice because they put their trust in him. 20 And they carried away abundant goods and cattle: fifty thousand camels, two hundred and fifty thousand sheep, two thousand asses, and a hundred thousand persons. 21 For many fell slain in the battle of those who dwelt in tents. And the remnant stayed in their tents. 22 And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land of Mathnin, as far as the plain of mount Hermon and as far as Har, and there they multiplied and became great. 23 These were the heads of the house of their fathers: Apha, Shob, Eldaa, Azriel, Adomiah, Uriah, and Hezaiel, 24 All mighty men of valour, famous men, and heads of the house of their families. 25 And they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went astray after the gods of the people of the land, whom God destroyed before them. 26 And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and he carried theta away, even the tribe of Reuben and the tribe of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah and Habor, and to the river Gozan, cities of Media. And they still dwell there to this day. 1 Chronicles 5:18-26, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
