International Children’s Bible

Soldiers Skilled in War

¹⁸ There were 44,760 fighters from the tribes of Reuben and Gad and the eastern half-tribe of Manasseh. They were brave men who could use shields and swords. They could use their bows well. They were skilled in war. ¹⁹ They started a war against the Hagrites and the people of Jetur, Naphish and Nodab. ²⁰ The men from the tribes of Manasseh, Reuben and Gad prayed to God in the war. They asked God to help them. So he helped them because they trusted him. He allowed them to defeat the Hagrites. And they also defeated all those who were with the Hagrites.
