I Paralipomenon 5

The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for he was the firstborn, but because he defiled his father’s couch, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel; and the genealogy is not to be listed according to the birthright.
2 Porro Iudas, qui erat fortissimus inter fratres suos, de stirpe eius principes germinati sunt: primogenita autem reputata sunt Ioseph.)
For Judah prevailed above his brothers, and from him came the prince; but the birthright was Joseph’s)—

They were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them; for they cried to God in the battle, and he answered them because they put their trust in him.

They took away their livestock: of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and of donkeys two thousand, and of men one hundred thousand.
