Contextual Overview
1 As to sons of Reuben, first-born of Israel -- for he [is] the first-born, and on account of his profaning the couch of his father hath his birthright been given to the sons of Joseph son of Israel, and [he is] not to be reckoned by genealogy for the birthright, 2 for Judah hath been mighty over his brother, and for leader above him, and the birthright [is] to Joseph. 3 Sons of Reuben, first-born of Israel: Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. 4 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 Asshur removed; he [is] prince of the Reubenite. 7 And his brethren, by their families, in the genealogy of their generations, [are] heads: Jeiel, and Zechariah, 8 and Bela son of Azaz, son of Shema, son of Joel -- he is dwelling in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baal-Meon; 9 and at the east he dwelt even unto the entering in of the wilderness, even from the river Phrat, for their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead. 10 And in the days of Saul they have made war with the Hagarites, 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
