^24 (A)Build cities for your little ones and folds for your sheep, and do what you have promised.”

¹⁴ Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land that Moses gave you beyond the Jordan, but all the men of valor among you shall pass over armed before your brothers and shall help them,

^2 (A)Sihon king of the Amorites who lived at Heshbon and ruled from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and ^(B)from the middle of the valley as far as the ^(C)river Jabbok, the boundary of the Ammonites, that is, half of Gilead,

⁹ So the people of Reuben and the people of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned home, parting from the people of Israel at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go ^(A)to the land of Gilead, their own land of which they had possessed themselves by command of the Lord through Moses.

⁹ and he made him king over Gilead and the Ashurites and Jezreel and Ephraim and Benjamin and all Israel.

⁹ He also lived to the east as far as the entrance of the desert this side of the Euphrates, because their livestock had multiplied ^(A)in the land of Gilead.
