1. Chronik 5:14

And they dwelt in Gilead,.... In that part of it which belonged to the tribe of Gad: in Bashan, and in her towns; See Gill on Ch1 5:11, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, upon their borders; there were two Sharons, one to the west of the land of Israel near the Mediterranean sea, which is mentioned in Act 9:35 as near Lydda and Joppa; and the other to the east or northeast, beyond Jordan, which is here meant.

This chapter gives us some account of the two tribes and a half that were seated on the other side Jordan. I. Of Reuben (Ch1 5:1-10). II. Of Gad (Ch1 5:11-17). III. Of the half-tribe of Manasseh (Ch1 5:23, Ch1 5:24). IV. Concerning all three acting in conjunction we are told, 1. How they conquered the Hagarites (Ch1 5:18-22). 2. How they were, at length, themselves conquered, and made captives, by the king of Assyria, because they had forsaken God (Ch1 5:25, Ch1 5:26).
