God handed the > Hagrites and all their > allies over to them, because they cried out to him during the battle. God > answered their prayers > because they trusted him. They plundered the Hagrite herds and flocks: > 50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, > and 2,000 donkeys. They also captured 100,000 people. Many were killed, > because the battle was > God's. They lived in that country until the exile. > > > 23-26 The half-tribe of Manasseh had a large population. They occupied the > land from Bashan to Baal > Hermon, that is, to Senir (Mount Hermon). The heads of their families were > Epher, Ishi, Eliel, > Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel-brave warriors, famous, and heads > of their families. But > they were not faithful to the God of their ancestors. They took up with > the ungodly gods of the > peoples of the land whom God had gotten rid of before they arrived. So the > God of Israel stirred up > the spirit of Pul king of Assyria (Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria) to > take the families of Reuben, > Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh into exile.
