Contextual Overview

18 the sons of Reuben and Gad, and half tribe of Manasseh, of the sons of valour, men bearing shield and sword and bending the bow, and instructed in war, were forty-four thousand and seven hundred and sixty, ready to go forth in the host. 19 So they made war with the Hagrites, - and Jetur and Naphish, and Nodab; 20 and were helped against them, and the Hagrites and all that were with them were delivered into their hand, - for, unto God, made they outcry, in the war, and he suffered himself to be entreated by them, because they put their trust in him; 21 and they captured their cattle - their camels, fifty thousand, and, flocks, two hundred and fifty thousand, and, asses, two thousand, - and, persons of men, a hundred thousand; 22 for, many slain, fell, for, of God, was the war, - and they dwelt in their stead, until the captivity. 23 And, the sons of the half tribe of Manasseh, dwelt in the land, - from Bashan, as far as to Baal-hermon and Senir and Mount Hermon, they, were multiplied. 24 And, these, were the heads of their ancestral house, - Epher and Ishi and Eliel and Azriel and Jeremiah and Hodaviah and Jahdiel, men who were heroes of valour, men of renown, chiefs to their ancestral house. 25 But they dealt unfaithfully with the God of their fathers, - and went unchastely after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God destroyed from before them; 26 so the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria, and he took them away captive, even the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half tribe of Manasseh, - and brought them in unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river of Gozan, unto this day.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And these were the heads of the house of their fathers,.... Some of the principal men of this half tribe:

even Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel; but of none of these we read elsewhere, excepting Hepher and Azriel, Numbers 26:31

mighty men of valour, famous men, and heads of the house of their fathers; men that obtained a name for their strength, courage, and valour, and military exploits, and were the chiefs of the families in this half tribe, and by whom they were denominated; so from Hepher were the family of the Hepherites, and from Azriel the family of the Azrielites, as in the place before quoted.
