Explanation preview
This verse sits inside the genealogy of the tribe of Gad, listed here alongside Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh because those three tribes settled east of the Jordan. The chronicler has just named the Gadite chiefs in Bashan and now records seven kinsmen by family, probably heads of households or clans.
