Commentary

Commentary on Joshua 13:31

Theological / Devotional

And half Gilead. That is, the other half not given to the Gadites (v. 25). North Gilead was part of the kingdom of Og.

Ashtaroth, and Edrei. See on eh. 12:4.

Children of Machir. The same as those previously called the children of Manasseh. They are now called the children of Machir, because Machir was the first-born and only son of Manasseh (Num. 26:29; 1 Chron. 7:14-16). Thus the “children of Machir” are the Manassites. For the other half of Machir’s children, see Joshua 17:1-6.
