The tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 battle-ready strong warriors capable of using shields and swords and bows.

They received help in fighting these enemies because they called out to God during the battles. In this way they were able to defeat the Hagrites and all who were with them. God answered their prayers because they trusted in him.
21 Yo te pran tout twoupo bèt yo: senkant-mil chamo, de-san-senkant-mil mouton, de-mil bourik; epi san-mil òm.
They captured their enemies' livestock—fifty thousand camels, two hundred fifty thousand sheep, and two thousand donkeys. They also captured one hundred thousand people,
22 Paske anpil moun te mouri, akoz lagè a te sòti nan Bondye. Epi yo te vin rete nan plas pa yo jis rive nan lè egzil la.

25 Men yo te aji avèk trayizon kont Bondye a papa yo a e te jwe pwostitiye a nan kouri dèyè dye a pèp peyi ke Bondye te detwi devan yo a.
But they were unfaithful to the God of their forefathers. They prostituted themselves by following the gods of the peoples of the land, those that God had destroyed before them.
26 Pou sa, Bondye Israël la te chofe lespri a Pul, wa Assyrie a, menm lespri a Tilgath-Pilnéser, wa Assyrie a e li te pote yo ale an egzil, menm Ribenit yo, Gadit yo ak mwatye tribi Manassé yo e te fè yo rive nan Chalach, nan Chabor, nan Hara ak nan flèv Gozan nan, kote yo rete menm jis rive jodi a.

He took into exile the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh. He brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan, where they remain to this very day.
