1 Chronicles 5:10-19

10When Saul was Israel's king, the men of Reuben's tribe attacked the Hagrites. They won the fight. Then they moved into their land to live. That was the whole region that was east of Gilead.

11Gad's descendants lived in the region of Bashan, near the people of Reuben's tribe. Their land went as far as Salecah town in the east.

12Joel was the most important leader. Shapham was the second leader. Janai and Shaphat were also leaders in Bashan.

13Their relatives in each of their seven clans were: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia and Eber.

14They were all descendants of Abihail. Abihail was Huri's son. Huri was Jaroah's son. Jaroah was Gilead's son. Gilead was Michael's son. Michael was Jeshishai's son. Jeshishai was Jahdo's son. Jahdo was the son of Buz.

15Ahi, son of Abdiel and grandson of Guni, was the leader of their clan.

16Gad's descendants lived in Gilead, in Bashan, and in the small towns near there. They also lived in the whole land of Sharon where there was grass to feed their animals.

17The names of Gad's descendants were written down at the time when Jotham was king of Judah and Jeroboam was king of Israel.

18The tribes of Reuben, Gad and half of the tribe of Manasseh had a large army. They had 44,760 brave soldiers who knew how to fight well. Their weapons were shields, swords, and bows and arrows.

19They attacked the Hagrites and the people in Jetur, Naphish and Nodab.
