1. Krønikebok 5,10

8 og Bela, sønn av Asas, sønn av Sjema, sønn av Joel,
som bodde i Aroer, og strakte seg til Nebo og Ba'al-Meon.

9 Mot øst bosatte han seg så langt som inngangen til ørkenen fra elven Eufrat, fordi deres buskap hadde økt i landet Gilead.

I Sauls dager førte de krig mot hagrittene,
som falt for deres hånd,
og de bodde i deres telt over hele landet øst for Gilead.

11 Etterkommerne til Gad bodde overfor dem i landet Basan,
og strakte seg til Salka.

12 Joel hadde den øverste posisjonen,
og Sjafam var den andre,
deretter Janai og Sjafat i Basan.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
