1 Chronicles 5:16 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

They dwelt in Gilead That is, the children or tribe of Gad inhabited a part of Gilead, the Reubenites and Manassites dwelling in other parts of it, Deuteronomy 3:12. In Bashan In the land of Bashan, as is said, 1 Chronicles 5:11. And in her towns In some of her cities and towns. In all the suburbs of Sharon Not that Sharon in Canaan, but that to the east of Jordan, namely, in the fields and pasture-grounds of it. Upon their borders The borders of Gilead and Bashan. For Gilead, properly so called, or the greatest part of it, belonged to the Reubenites, and the greatest part of Bashan to the Manassites; and the Gadites, whose habitation was between these two tribes, had those parts of both these countries which lay toward their borders.
