  • Num 32:1-9 : 1 The sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad had a very large amount of livestock. When they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, they noticed that the place was suitable for livestock. 2 The sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the congregation, saying: 3 "Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon— 4 this land that the Lord defeated before the congregation of Israel—is a land suitable for livestock, and your servants have livestock." 5 They said, "If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Do not make us cross the Jordan." 6 But Moses replied to the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben, "Should your brothers go to war while you stay here? 7 Why would you discourage the hearts of the Israelites from crossing into the land that the Lord has given them? 8 This is what your ancestors did when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land. 9 They went up to the Valley of Eshcol, saw the land, and discouraged the hearts of the Israelites from entering the land that the Lord had given them. 10 So the Lord’s anger burned that day, and He swore, saying: 11 'None of the men who came up from Egypt, twenty years old and older, will see the land I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, because they have not fully followed Me— 12 except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua son of Nun, for they have fully followed the Lord.' 13 The Lord’s anger burned against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness for forty years until the entire generation that had done evil in His sight was gone. 14 "Now you have risen in place of your ancestors, a brood of sinful men, to increase still further the fierce anger of the Lord against Israel. 15 If you turn away from following Him, He will abandon them again in the wilderness, and you will bring destruction on all these people." 16 Then they approached him and said, "We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock and cities for our children. 17 But we will arm ourselves quickly and go before the Israelites until we bring them to their place. Meanwhile our children will stay in fortified cities, safe from the inhabitants of the land. 18 We will not return to our homes until every Israelite has received their inheritance. 19 For we will not inherit any land with them beyond the Jordan, because our inheritance is on the east side of the Jordan. 20 Moses said to them, "If you will do this—if you arm yourselves for battle before the Lord, 21 and all your armed men cross over the Jordan before the Lord until He has driven out His enemies from His presence— 22 then the land will be subdued before the Lord, and afterward you may return and be free from obligation to the Lord and Israel. This land will then be your possession before the Lord. 23 But if you do not do this, you will have sinned against the Lord. Be sure your sin will find you out. 24 Build cities for your children and pens for your flocks, but do what you have promised. 25 The sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben said to Moses, "Your servants will do just as my lord commands. 26 Our children, wives, livestock, and all our animals will remain here in the cities of Gilead, 27 but your servants, every armed man of war, will cross over before the Lord to battle, just as my lord says." 28 So Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders of the tribes of Israel. 29 Moses said to them, "If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben cross the Jordan with you, every man armed for battle before the Lord, and the land is subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead as a possession. 30 But if they do not cross over armed with you, they must take their possession among you in the land of Canaan." 31 The sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answered, "As the Lord has said to your servants, so we will do. 32 We will cross over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, but the possession of our inheritance will be on this side of the Jordan." 33 Then Moses gave to the sons of Gad, the sons of Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan—the land with its cities and the territories surrounding them. 34 The sons of Gad built Dibon, Ataroth, and Aroer— 35 also Atroth-shophan, Jazer, and Jogbehah. 36 They also built Beth-nimrah and Beth-haran as fortified cities, and sheepfolds. 37 The sons of Reuben rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, and Kiriathaim— 38 as well as Nebo, Baal-meon (with their names changed), and Sibmah, and they gave new names to the cities they rebuilt. 39 The sons of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, captured it, and drove out the Amorites who were there. 40 So Moses gave Gilead to Machir son of Manasseh, and he settled there. 41 Jair son of Manasseh went and captured their settlements, and he called them Havvoth-jair. 42 Nobah went and captured Kenath and its surrounding villages, and he called it Nobah after his own name.
  • Deut 33:20-21 : 20 Of Gad he said: 'Blessed is he who enlarges Gad's territory.

He carried out the righteousness of the Lord and His judgments for Israel.
  • Josh 13:8 : 8 The other half-tribe, along with the Reubenites and the Gadites, has already received the inheritance that Moses gave them beyond the Jordan to the east, as the servant of the LORD had assigned to them.
  • Judg 10:1-9 : 1 After Abimelech, Tola, the son of Puah, son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, arose to deliver Israel. He lived in Shamir, in the hill country of Ephraim. 2 Tola judged Israel for twenty-three years. Then he died and was buried in Shamir. 3 After him, Jair the Gileadite arose and judged Israel for twenty-two years. 4 He had thirty sons, who rode on thirty donkeys, and they had thirty towns, which are called Havvoth-Jair to this day, in the land of Gilead. 5 Then Jair died and was buried in Kamon. 6 The Israelites again did what was evil in the sight of the LORD. They served the Baals and the Ashtaroth, and the gods of Aram, Sidon, Moab, the Ammonites, and the Philistines. They abandoned the LORD and did not serve Him. 7 So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He gave them into the hands of the Philistines and the Ammonites. 8 They crushed and oppressed the Israelites that year. For eighteen years, they oppressed all the Israelites who were on the east side of the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead. 9 The Ammonites also crossed over the Jordan to fight against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim, and Israel was greatly distressed. 10 Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD, saying, 'We have sinned against You, for we have abandoned our God and served the Baals.' 11 The LORD said to the Israelites, 'Did I not rescue you from Egypt, the Amorites, the Ammonites, and the Philistines?
  • 1 Chr 3:18-22 : 18 Also Malchiram, Pedaiah, Shenazzar, Jekamiah, Hoshama, and Nedabiah. 19 The sons of Pedaiah: Zerubbabel and Shimei.

The sons of Shemaiah: Hattush, Igal, Bariah, Neariah, and Shaphat—six in total.
  • 1 Chr 5:11-22 : 11 The sons of Gad lived opposite them in the land of Bashan, as far as Salcah. 12 Joel was the chief, Shapham the second, Janai, and Shaphat in Bashan. 13 Their relatives according to their families were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jakan, Zia, and Eber—seven in all. 14 These were the sons of Abihail, son of Huri, son of Jaroah, son of Gilead, son of Michael, son of Jeshishai, son of Jahdo, son of Buz. 15 Ahi son of Abdiel, son of Guni, was the leader of their families. 16 They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its towns, and throughout all the pasturelands of Sharon as far as their borders. 17 All of them were recorded in the genealogies during the reigns of Jotham, king of Judah, and Jeroboam, king of Israel. 18 The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had valiant men who carried shields and swords, drew bows, and were trained for war. They numbered 44,760 men ready for battle. 19 They waged war against the Hagrites, as well as Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab. 20 They were helped against them, and the Hagrites and all their allies were handed over to them because they cried out to God during the battle, and He answered their prayers since they trusted in Him. 21 They took away their livestock: fifty thousand camels, two hundred and fifty thousand sheep, two thousand donkeys, and one hundred thousand people as captives. 22 Many were killed because the battle was from God, and they lived in their territory until the time of the exile.
