1 And the sons of Reuben the first born of Israel; for he was the first born, but when he went up to his father's bed, his father gave his birth right to his son Joseph as the son of Israel: yet in the genealogy he did not attain the right of primogeniture;
2 for Juda being mighty in power prevailed over his brethren to have the Ruler appointed out of him, though the blessing was Joseph's.
3 Now the sons of Reuben, the first born of Israel, were Enoch and Phallus, Asrom and Charmi.
4 The sons of Joel, Semei and Bania, his son. And the sons of Goug son of Semei,
5 Micha his son; Recha his son; Joel his son;
6 Beel his son, whom Thalgathphallasar, king of Assyria, carried away captive. He was the chief of the Reubenites.
7 And his brethren in his patriarchal family in their classes according to their genealogies, were the chief Joel and Zacharias,
8 and Balek Son Azouz, Son Sama, Son Joel. Now the Reubenites dwelt at Aroer, and at Nabau and Beelmasson,
9 and eastward to the edge of the wilderness which bordereth on the river Euphrates; for they had many cattle in the land of Galaad.
10 And in the days of Saul they made war on their neighbours; and all those who dwelt in tents on the east of Galaad fell by their hands.
