SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:9
Habitó también desde el oriente hasta la entrada del desierto desde el río Eufrates; porque tenía muchos ganados en la tierra de Galaad.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. And eastward he inhabited , etc.] Either Bela, or the tribe of Reuben: unto the entering in of the wilderness ; the wilderness of Kedemoth, which was near to Sihon king of Heshbon, whose land the Reubenites inhabited, ( Deuteronomy 2:26) from the river Euphrates ; a learned man thinks that this river Phrat was different from the Euphrates near Babylon, which was northward, since this was to the east or southeast: because their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead ; therefore their habitation was extended further, even to the river Euphrates, as in the days of David and Solomon, ( 2 Samuel 8:3 1 Kings 4:21).
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 __________________________________________________________________
