Notes

1 Chronicles 5:18–22

The story of the war against the Hagrites expands on the elements introduced in 1 Chronicles 5:10. It was a conflict among shepherds over grazing land. All three tribes took part. The Chronicler describes their skills, military abilities, and numbers. With God fighting against the enemy, they won a great victory, gaining huge spoils and complete control of the territory.

1 Chronicles 5:1–24

Chapter 5 lists the family histories for:

Reuben (1 Chronicles 5:1–10; compare Genesis 46:9)
Gad (1 Chronicles 5:11–17)
Manasseh (1 Chronicles 5:23–24)

These are the tribes of Israel that settled in Transjordan (the area east of the Jordan River).
