¹⁸ The Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 men ready for military service^(A)—able-bodied men who could handle shield and sword, who could use a bow, and who were trained for battle. ¹⁹ They waged war against the Hagrites, Jetur,^(B) Naphish and Nodab. ²⁰ They were helped^(C) in fighting them, and God delivered the Hagrites and all their allies into their hands, because they cried^(D) out to him during the battle. He answered their prayers, because they trusted^(E) in him. ²¹ They seized the livestock of the Hagrites—fifty thousand camels, two hundred fifty thousand sheep and two thousand donkeys. They also took one hundred thousand people captive, ²² and many others fell slain, because the battle^(F) was God’s. And they occupied the land until the exile.^(G)
