1 Chronicles 5:11-17

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.
