19 And they went to war against the Hagarites, with Jetur and Naphish and Nodab.

21 And they took away their cattle: fifty thousand camels, two hundred and fifty thousand sheep, and two thousand asses, and a hundred thousand men.
22 And a very great number went to their death, because the war was God's purpose. And they went on living in their place till they were taken away as prisoners.

1Ch 5:1-17
We have here an extract out of the genealogies,
1Ch 5:18-26
The heads of the half-tribe of Manasseh, that were seated on the other side Jordan, are named here, v. 23, 24.

Two things only are here recorded concerning these tribes on the other side Jordan, in which they were all concerned. They all shared,
