1 Tawarikh 5
1 Ruben adalah anak sulung Yakub. Tetapi karena Ruben telah menodai kehormatan salah seorang selir ayahnya, maka haknya sebagai anak sulung dicabut dan diberikan kepada Yusuf. Meskipun begitu yang terkuat dari antara keturunan Yakub bukan suku Yusuf melainkan suku Yehuda. Bahkan yang pertama-tama menjadi raja seluruh umat Israel adalah dari suku Yehuda itu.
And the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, for, he, was the firstborn, but because he defiled the couch of his father, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph son of Israel, —and he is not to be enrolled in the place of firstborn,
for, Judah, prevailed over his brethren, so that, even the prince, is from him, —although, the birthright, pertaineth to Joseph;

and Bela, the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, —he, dwelt in Aroer, even as far as Nebo, and Baal-meon;
9 Mereka mempunyai banyak sekali ternak di daerah Gilead. Karena itu, mereka menempati wilayah sebelah timur sampai ke padang gurun yang terbentang sejauh Sungai Efrat.
and, eastward, dwelt he as far as the entering in of the desert, from the river Euphrates, —because, their cattle, were multiplied in the land of Gilead;

So they made war with the Hagrites, —and Jetur and Naphish, and Nodab;

and were helped against them, and the Hagrites and all that were with them were delivered into their hand, —for, unto God, made they outcry, in the war, and he suffered himself to be entreated by them, because they put their trust in him;
21 Karena peperangan itu terjadi atas kehendak Allah, maka banyak musuh yang mereka bunuh. Mereka juga menawan 100.000 orang, dan merampas 50.000 unta, 250.000 domba dan 2.000 keledai. Setelah itu mereka menetap di daerah itu sampai pada masa bangsa Israel ditawan dan dibawa ke pembuangan.
and they captured their cattle—their camels, fifty thousand, and, flocks, two hundred and fifty thousand, and, asses, two thousand, —and, persons of men, a hundred thousand;
for, many slain, fell, for, of God, was the war, —and they dwelt in their stead, until the captivity.

But they dealt unfaithfully with the God of their fathers, —and went unchastely after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God destroyed from before them;
26 Karena itu Allah menggerakkan hati Pul raja Asyur, maka pergilah ia menyerbu negeri itu. Pul juga dikenal sebagai Tiglat-Pileser. Lalu suku Ruben, Gad dan suku Manasye yang di sebelah timur Yordan diangkutnya sebagai tawanan dan dibuang ke Halah, Habor, Hara dan ke suatu tempat dekat Sungai Gozan. Di sana mereka tinggal dan menetap sampai hari ini.
so the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria, and he took them away captive, even the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half tribe of Manasseh, —and brought them in unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river of Gozan, unto this day.
