Context of 1 Chronicles 5:11
9In the east they settled as far as the entrance to the desert that stretches to the Euphrates River, for their cattle had increased in numbers in the land of Gilead. 10During the time of Saul they attacked the Hagrites and defeated them. They took over their territory in the entire eastern region of Gilead. The descendants of Gad lived near them in the land of Bashan, as far as Salecah. 12They included Joel the leader, Shapham the second in command, Janai, and Shaphat in Bashan. 13Their relatives, listed according to their families, included Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber – seven in all.
