1 Chronicles 5:1-26

1 Chronicles 5:1 The Transjordanian Tribes. By the Chronicler’s time, Reuben (vv. 1 Chronicles 5:1), Gad (vv. 1 Chronicles 5:11), and the half-tribe of Manasseh (vv. 1 Chronicles 5:23) had largely lost their identities after Assyrian invasions in the eighth century B.C. Nonetheless, the Chronicler included within “all Israel” whatever remnants of the northern tribes still existed (see 2 Chronicles 30:10).
