1 Chronicles 5:18-20

GOD’S WORD Translation

Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh Fight Hagar’s Descendants

¹⁸ The descendants of Reuben, Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 soldiers ready to go to war. They were skilled fighters who could carry shields and swords and shoot arrows. ¹⁹ They went to war against Hagar’s descendants (including Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab) ²⁰ and received help while fighting them. Hagar’s descendants and the nations with them were handed over to Reuben’s descendants. They had called out to God during the battle, and he answered their prayers because they trusted him.
