Contextual Overview

1 And the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, for, he, was the firstborn, but because he defiled the couch of his father, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph son of Israel, - and he is not to be enrolled in the place of firstborn, 2 for, Judah, prevailed over his brethren, so that, even the prince, is from him, - although, the birthright, pertaineth to Joseph; 3 the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi. 4 The sons of Joel, Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son; 5 Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son; 6 Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria carried away captive, - he, was a leader to the Reubenites; 7 and his brethren, by his families, in the genealogical registering, by their generations, - the chief Jeiel, and Zechariah; 8 and Bela, the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, - he, dwelt in Aroer, even as far as Nebo, and Baal-meon; 9 and, eastward, dwelt he as far as the entering in of the desert, from the river Euphrates, - because, their cattle, were multiplied in the land of Gilead; 10 and, in the days of Saul, they made war with the Hagrites, who fell by their hand, - so they dwelt in their tents, over all the face of the land east of Gilead.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

the children: The Gadites and the half tribe of Manasseh are joined to the genealogy of Reuben, because they inhabited the same country, and formed a sort of separate colony east of Jordan.

Gad: Genesis 30:11, in the land Bashan, Numbers 21:33, Numbers 32:34-36, Deuteronomy 3:10-17, Joshua 12:4, Joshua 13:11, Joshua 13:24-28, Psalms 22:12

Salcah: Joshua 13:11

Reciprocal: Genesis 46:16 - sons of Genesis 49:19 - General 1 Chronicles 5:12 - Bashan 1 Chronicles 5:16 - Bashan

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the children of Gad dwelt over against them,.... Or by them, the Reubenites; and one part of Gilead was given them between them, and the other to the half tribe of Manasseh:

in the land of Bashan, unto Salcah; for though all Bashan is said to be given to the half tribe of Manasseh, Deuteronomy 3:13 yet that is to be understood of the greater part of it; all of that which belonged to Og, but what did not, the Gadites, either from the first, or in later times, inhabited even as far as Salcah, which was one of the cities of Og, Deuteronomy 3:10 and which Benjamin of Tudela w makes mention of, being called by the same name in his days.

w Itinerar. p. 57.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

From this passage and from the subsequent account of the Manassites 1 Chronicles 5:23-24, the Gadites extended themselves to the north at the expense of their brethren, gradually occupying a considerable portion of the tract originally allotted to the “half tribe.”
