Descendants of the Half-Tribe of Manasseh

The half-tribe of Manasseh answers the blessing of God, which has been shown by a great number of descendants, with unfaithfulness to Him. Their unfaithfulness also has consequences for the other two tribes – who certainly also did not remain faithful, but that is not mentioned here – because they are carried away into exile together with the half-tribe of Manasseh by the king of Assyria. The carrying away into exile is mentioned several times in this chapter (1Chr 5:6 ; 22 ; 26).
