Of the half-tribe of Manasseh, 1 Chronicles 5:23, 5:24. IV. Concerning all three acting in conjunction we are told, 1. How they conquered the Hagarites, 1 Chronicles 5:18-5:22. 2. How they were, at length, themselves conquered, and made captives, by the king of Assyria, because they had forsaken God, 1 Chronicles 5:25, 5:26. MHBCC 344.1
