Gileadites
Not used strictly for the descendants of one man. Numbers 26:29 refers to the descendants of Manasseh (No. 1, above) and Judges 11:1, Judges 1:11; Judges 12:7 to No. 2. We also read of Jair a Gileadite, Judges 10:3; and Barzillai, 2 Samuel 17:27; 2 Samuel 1:19; 1 Kings 1:2; Ezra 2:61; Nehemiah 7:63. The Ephraimites accused the Gileadites and Jephthah with being fugitives from them, but they were severely punished for their arrogance. Judges 1:12-6. Pekah when he revolted against Pekahiah slew fifty men of the Gileadites. 2 Kings 15:25.
