SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:18
¶ Los hijos de Rubén, y de Gad, y la media tribu de Manasés, hombres valientes, hombres que traían escudo y espada, que entesaban arco, y diestros en guerra, cuarenta y cuatro mil setecientos sesenta que salían a batalla.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh , etc.] These all joined together, living together on the one side of Jordan: of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with bow, and skilful in war ; strong able bodied men; and not only able to bear and carry arms, sword in one hand, and shield in another; but were men of valour and courage, and had military skill, and knew how to handle their arms to advantage: [were] four and forty thousand seven hundred and threescore, that went out to the war : that used to go out when there was occasion, and did at this time. Ver. 19 . And they made war with the Hagarites , etc.] Before mentioned, ( 1 Chronicles 5:19) with Jetur, and Nephish : with the posterity of these men, who were sons of Ishmael, ( Genesis 25:15) and so was Nodab; perhaps the same with Kedemah, mentioned along with the other two there; so Hillerus thinks.
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 __________________________________________________________________
