1 Chronicles 5:1-26
The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (he was the firstborn, but when he defiled his father’s marriage bed, his rights as firstborn were given to the sons of Joseph son of Israel; so he could not be listed in the genealogical record in accordance with his birthright, and though Judah was the strongest of his brothers and a ruler came from him, the rights of the firstborn belonged to Joseph)
The Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 men ready for military service. They were helped in fighting them, and God delivered the Hagrites and all their allies into their hands, because they cried out to him during the battle. He answered their prayers, because they trusted in him.
The people of the half-tribe of Manasseh were numerous; they settled in the land from Bashan to Baal Hermon, that is, to Senir. But they were unfaithful to the God of their ancestors and prostituted themselves to the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them. So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria (that is, Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria), who took the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh into exile. He took them to Halah, Habor, Hara and the river of Gozan, where they are to this day.
Why?
Reuben was the firstborn, who had the most right in his family, but for his evil behavior, he lost his ring of firstborn.
In the beginning, Reubenite, the Gadites and half-tribe of Manasseh were faithful to the Lord so God blessed them on the east side of Jordan River. But when they left the Lord, so they were the first nations to be exiled by the king of Assyria.

神給人恩典,人無須付出,人得到恩典要好好把握,否則會失去。
君王不見得從長子而出,這是神的揀選。我們不明原因。以色列人每個都是長子,每個基督徒也是長子,即要承接產業。
神的應許曾經到達這裡。20節。這兩個半支派征戰中呼求神。在享受神的恩典後,去拜其他神,拜外邦人的神。是神興起亞速人來教訓他們,因為生活太安逸,一方面希望神不要管太多!以致離開神。
How?
Following the Lord is a blessing to our life and our nation. Atlas, there are so many people do not know this truth and the way to eternal life.
