1 Chronicles 5:19-22

5:19 They attacked 1  the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab. 5:20 They received divine help in fighting them, and the Hagrites and all their allies were handed over to them. They cried out to God during the battle; he responded to their prayers because they trusted in him. 2  5:21 They seized the Hagrites’ 3  animals, including 50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, and 2,000 donkeys. They also took captive 100,000 people. 5:22 Because God fought for them, 4  they killed many of the enemy. 5  They dispossessed the Hagrites and lived in their land until the exile. 6
