17 (These records were compiled in the days of King Jotham of Judah and King Jeroboam II of Israel.)
18 In the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh there were 44,760 soldiers, well trained in the use of shields, swords, and bows.
19 They went to war against the Hagrite tribes of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.
20 They put their trust in God and prayed to him for help, and God answered their prayers and made them victorious over the Hagrites and their allies.
21 They captured from the enemy 50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, and 2,000 donkeys, and took 100,000 prisoners of war.
22 They killed many of the enemy, because the war was God's will. And they went on living in that territory until the exile.
23 The people of East Manasseh settled in the territory of Bashan as far north as Baal Hermon, Senir, and Mount Hermon, and their population increased greatly.
