καὶ υἱοὶ Ρουβην πρωτοτόκου Ισραηλ ὅτι οὗτος ὁ πρωτότοκος καὶ ἐν τῷ ἀναβῆναι ἐπὶ τὴν κοίτην τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἔδωκεν εὐλογίαν αὐτοῦ τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ Ιωσηφ υἱῷ Ισραηλ καὶ οὐκ ἐγενεαλογήθη εἰς πρωτοτόκια
And the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel - for he was the firstborn, but when he went up to his father's bed, his blessing was given to Joseph his son, the son of Israel, and he was not enrolled according to the rights of the firstborn -
The chapter opens not with a neutral list but with an interpretive aside. Reuben's biological primacy is acknowledged even as his moral failure explains the loss of firstborn privilege.

ὅτι Ιουδας δυνατὸς ἰσχύι καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰς ἡγούμενον ἐξ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ εὐλογία τοῦ Ιωσηφ
for Judah was mighty in strength among his brothers, and from him came the ruler, though the blessing belonged to Joseph.
The explanatory ὅτι continues the theological framing: royal leadership and firstborn blessing are deliberately separated. The Chronicler thus orders tribal memory toward both Judah's rule and Joseph's privilege.

καὶ ἐπήγειρεν ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ τὸ πνεῦμα Φαλωχ βασιλέως Ασσουρ καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα Θαγλαθφαλνασαρ βασιλέως Ασσουρ καὶ μετῴκισεν τὸν Ρουβην καὶ τὸν Γαδδι καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ φυλῆς Μανασση καὶ ἤγαγεν αὐτοὺς εἰς Χαλαχ καὶ Χαβωρ καὶ ἐπὶ ποταμὸν Γωζαν ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης
And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Phaloch king of Assyria, even the spirit of Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and he carried away Reuben and Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah and Habor and to the river Gozan, unto this day.
Imperial policy is narrated as the direct outworking of Israel's God. The deportation formula closes the eastern tribal dossier in judgment rather than triumph.
