Context of 1 Chronicles 5:11
9To the east Bela settled as far as the entrance into the desert from the river Euphrates, because their cattle had multiplied in the land of Gilead. 10In the days of King Saul they made war with the Hagrites, who fell by their hands; and they lived in their tents throughout all the land east of Gilead. The sons of Gad lived opposite them in the land of Bashan, as far as Salecah: 12Joel was the chief, Shapham the second, then Janai and Shaphat in Bashan. 13Their relatives from the households of their fathers: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber—seven in all.
