1 Chronicles 5:10
And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarites, who fell by their hand: and they dwelt in their tents throughout all the east land of Gilead. And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarites, who fell by their hand: and they dwelt in their tents throughout all the east land of Gilead.
In the days of Saul the east-Jordan tribes made war with the Hagarites, and the Hagarites fell by their hand. The victors then dwelt in their tents throughout all the east land of Gilead, occupying the country across the eastern side of Gilead. This record stands within the genealogical record of 1 Chronicles 5 that preserves the identity and integrity of Israel's tribes.
The verse is one of the Bible's detailed records of peoples and events. Its place in Scripture contributes to the biblical account of the origin and distribution of races. That account gives material for ethnological study.
