⁹ To the east, they lived on the edge of the desert that runs up to the Euphrates River because their herds had grown numerous in the land of Gilead.

¹⁰ During the days of Saul they fought against the Hagrites who fell at their hands. They lived in their dwellings to the east of Gilead.

¹⁸ The Reubenites, the Gadites, and one-half of the tribe of Manasseh had forty-four thousand, seven hundred and sixty trained warriors armed with shield, sword, and bow who went out to battle. ¹⁹ They fought against the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab. ²⁰ They helped in fighting against them, and the Lord delivered the Hagrites and those who were with them into their hands for they had cried out to God all throughout the battle. He responded to them because they had put their trust in him. ²¹ They seized their livestock: fifty thousand camels, two hundred thousand sheep, and two thousand donkeys. They also took one hundred thousand captives. ²² Many others were killed, falling because it was God’s battle. They then dwelt there in their place until the time of the Exile.
