Context of 1 Chronicles 5:8
6Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-Pilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites. 7And his brethren by their families, in the genealogical register of their generations, were: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah, and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt in Aroer, as far as Nebo and Baal-meon; 9and eastward he dwelt as far as the entrance to the wilderness from the river Euphrates; for their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead. 10And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarites, who fell by their hand; and they dwelt in their tents throughout the east side of Gilead.
