Contextual Overview
1As for sons of Reuben, firstborn of Israel—for he [is] the firstborn, and on account of his profaning the bed of his father his birthright has been given to the sons of Joseph son of Israel, and [he is] not to be reckoned by genealogy for the birthright, 2for Judah has been mighty over his brother, and for leader above him, and the birthright [is] to Joseph— 3sons of Reuben, firstborn of Israel: Enoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. 4Sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son, 5Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Ba‘al his son, 6Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-Pilneser king of Asshur removed; he [is] prince of the Reubenite. 7And his brothers, by their families, in the genealogy of their generations, [are] heads: Jeiel, and Zechariah, 8and Bela son of Azaz, son of Shema, son of Joel—he is dwelling in Aroer, even to Nebo and Ba‘al-Meon; 9and he dwelt at the east even to the entering in of the wilderness, even from the Euphrates River, for their livestock were multiplied in the land of Gilead. 10And they have made war with the Hagarites in the days of Saul, who fall by their hand, and they dwell in their tents over all the face of the east of Gilead.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Joel the chief,.... In this and the following verse are reckoned up the principal men in the tribe of Gad, and the chief of all was Joel, another from him in the tribe of Reuben, 1 Chronicles 5:4
and Shapham the next; the second chief man, from whom, Reland x conjectures, Shophan, a city in the tribe of Gad, had its name, Numbers 32:35
and Jaanai; from whom Danjaan might be called, as Michaelis intimates, 2 Samuel 24:6
and Shaphat in Bashan; not Shaphat the father of Elisha, according to a tradition of the Jews, mentioned by Kimchi; which is not at all probable.
x Palestin. Illustrat. par. 2. p. 602.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
