These were the sons of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh.—These words appear to refer to a series of names which has dropped out of the text, but which may be inferred from Num_26:30-32 to have included Abiezer (of which Jeezer is a contraction) and Shemidah. (See the genealogy, 1Ch_7:14, Note.) 1Ch_7:17 b and 1Ch_7:18 may thus have read, “These were the sons of Gilead, &c. Abiezer . . . Shemidah. (Now his sister Hammoleketh had borne Ish-hôd and Abiezer and Mahalah.) And the sons of Shemidah were,” &c. (1Ch_7:19).

Bedan. While all the names of the preceding verse are strange to us, this name excites much interest, as possibly to be identified with the (1Sa_12:11) who is placed after Jerubbaal (i.q. Gideon ), and before Jephthah and Samuel. Who in the Book of Judges is to answer to this Bedan of the Book of Samuel it is impossible to say. See Bishop Cotton"s excellent short article (Smith"s "Bible Dictionary," L 177). These were the sons of Gilead (see ver. 14). The name Gilead surpassed the name Machir, and even rivalled that of Manasseh itself.
