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. The 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.

Commentaries on 1 Chronicles 5:17
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 17The writer refers here to two registrations, one made under the authority of Jeroboam II when he was king and Israel flourishing, the other made under the authority of Jotham, king of Judah, during the troublous time which followed on the great invasion of Tiglath-pileser. There is nothing surprising in a king of Judah having exercised a species of lordship over the trans-Jordanic territory at this period.Read the comment
