Watson's Biblical & Theological Dictionary
a celebrated city beyond Jordan, twenty miles eastward of that river, according to Eusebius. It was given to the tribe of Reuben, Joshua 13:17 . It was probably made over to Gad, since we meet with it among the cities which were given to the Levites, Joshua 21:39 .
