Context of 1 Chronicles 5:16

14These were the sons of Abihail, who was the son of Huri, grandson of Jaroah, and great-grandson of Gilead. Gilead was the son of Michael, grandson of Jeshishai, great-grandson of Jahdo, and great-great-grandson of Buz. 15Ahi, son of Abdiel and grandson of Guni, was the head of their families. They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its villages, and in the entire pastureland of Sharon to its extreme edges. 17All these people were recorded in genealogical records in the days of King Jotham of Judah and King Jeroboam of Israel. 18The descendants of Reuben, Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 soldiers ready to go to war. They were skilled fighters who could carry shields and swords and shoot arrows.
