أخبار الأيام الأول ٥:٢٤

And the God of Israel,.... The Targum is,"the word of the God of Israel:" stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria: in the times of Menahem king of Israel: and the spirit of Tilgathpilneser; in the times of Pekah king of Israel, to invade the land, and make war in it: and he carried them away: not the former, but the latter: even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh; these entirely together, with some other parts of the land, see Kg2 15:29. and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan; to the very same places where afterwards Salmaneser carried the ten tribes, or what remained of them, see Kg2 17:6. unto this day; the times of Ezra, the writer of this book, after the tribe of Judah returned from the captivity of Babylon; but the ten tribes remained where they were carried, and have not returned even to this day. Next: 1 Chronicles Chapter 6

This chapter gives us some account of the two tribes and a half that were seated on the other side Jordan. I. Of Reuben (Ch1 5:1-10). II. Of Gad (Ch1 5:11-17). III. Of the half-tribe of Manasseh (Ch1 5:23, Ch1 5:24). IV. Concerning all three acting in conjunction we are told, 1. How they conquered the Hagarites (Ch1 5:18-22). 2. How they were, at length, themselves conquered, and made captives, by the king of Assyria, because they had forsaken God (Ch1 5:25, Ch1 5:26).
