1 Chronicles 5:11-17

11Next to the Reubenites, the descendants of Gad lived in the land of Bashan as far east as Salecah.

12Joel was the leader in the land of Bashan, and Shapham was second-in-command, followed by Janai and Shaphat.

13Their relatives, the leaders of seven other clans, were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber.

14These were all descendants of Abihail son of Huri, son of Jaroah, son of Gilead, son of Michael, son of Jeshishai, son of Jahdo, son of Buz.

15Ahi son of Abdiel, son of Guni, was the leader of their clans.

16The Gadites lived in the land of Gilead, in Bashan and its villages, and throughout all the pasturelands of Sharon.

17All of these were listed in the genealogical records during the days of King Jotham of Judah and King Jeroboam of Israel.
