SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:10
Y en los días de Saúl trajeron guerra contra los agarenos (ismaelitas ), los cuales cayeron en su mano; y ellos habitaron en sus tiendas sobre toda la parte oriental de Galaad.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 5:10
Verse 10. And they dwelt in their tents] The Hagarites were tribes of Nomade, or Scenite, Arabs; people who lived in tents, without any fixed dwellings, and whose property consisted in cattle. The descendants of Reuben extirpated these Hagarites, seized on their property and their tents, and dwelt in their place.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarites , etc.] Not with the Hungarians, as the Targum, a people not then in being; but the Ishmaelites, so called because they descended from Hagar f42 , Sarah’s maid; the same that are placed by Pliny and Ptolemy in Arabia, near the Batanaeans, or inhabitants of Bashan; with those the Reubenites made war, in conjunction with the Gadites and half tribe of Manasseh, ( Chronicles 5:18,19), perhaps this war might be much about the time Saul relieved Jabeshgilead, and beat the Ammonites, ( 1 Samuel 11:1-14) by which the tribes on that side Jordan might be encouraged to it: who fell by their hand ; were worsted and conquered by them: and they dwelt in their tents ; in which the Arabians used to dwell, because of their flocks; hence some of them were called Scenites: throughout all the east [land] of Gilead ; or rather throughout all the land of the Hagarites, which lay to the east of Gilead, as the Vulgate Latin version; or otherwise the land of Gilead itself was their original possession.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Genealogies. --This chapter gives some account of the two tribes and a half seate on the east side of Jordan. They were made captives by the king of Assyria, because they had forsaken the Lord. Only two things are her recorded concerning these tribes. 1. They all shared in a victory Happy is that people who live in harmony together, who assist eac other against the common enemies of their souls, trusting in the Lord and calling upon him. 2. They shared in captivity. They would have the best land, not considering that it lay most exposed. The desire of earthly objects draws to a distance from God's ordinances, and prepare men for destruction __________________________________________________________________
