Numbers 32:16-18

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁶ Then they came near to him and said, “We will build here sheepfolds for our livestock and cities for our little ones; ^17 (A)but we ourselves will be armed ready to go before the sons of Israel, until we have brought them to their place, while our little ones live in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land. ^18 (B)We will not return to our homes until every one of the sons of Israel has possessed his inheritance.
