1 Chronicles 5:8

The Descendants of Reuben

7His relatives by their clans are recorded in their genealogy: Jeiel the chief, Zechariah,8and Bela son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel. They settled in Aroer and as far as Nebo and Baal-meon.9They also settled in the east as far as the edge of the desert that extends to the Euphrates River, because their livestock had increased in the land of Gilead.
