34 The Gadites rebuilt the cities of Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,

35 Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,

36 Beth-nimrah and Beth-haran—fortified cities—and sheepfolds.

37 The Reubenites rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,

38 Nebo, Baal-meon (names to be changed!), and Sibmah. These towns, which they rebuilt, they called by their old names.

39 The descendants of Machir, son of Manasseh, went to Gilead and captured it, dispossessing the Amorites who were there.

40 (Moses gave Gilead to Machir, son of Manasseh, and he settled there.)

41 Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, went and captured their tent villages, and called them Havvoth-jair.

42 Nobah went and captured Kenath with its dependencies and called it Nobah after his own name.
