Context of 1 Chronicles 5:11
9while in the east they settled as far as the entrance of the wilderness from this side of the river Euphrates, because their cattle had multiplied in the land of Gilead. 10Now in the days of Saul they had made war with the Hagrites, who fell by their hand. So they lived in their encampments in the entire eastern area of Gilead. Now the sons of Gad lived opposite them in the land of Bashan as far as Salcah: 12Joel the leader, Shapham second, then Janai and Shaphat in Bashan. 13Their kinsmen according to their ancestral families: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia and Eber—seven in all.
