It also included all the towns of King Sihon of the Amorites, who had reigned in Heshbon, and extended as far as the borders of Ammon.

Then Noah said,“ May the Lord, the God of Shem, be blessed, and may Canaan be his servant!May God expand the territory of Japheth! May Japheth share the prosperity of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant.”

Moses had assigned the following area to the clans of the tribe of Gad.Their territory included Jazer, all the towns of Gilead, and half of the land of Ammon, as far as the town of Aroer just west of Rabbah.It extended from Heshbon to Ramath mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the territory of Lo debar.In the valley were Beth haram, Beth nimrah, Succoth, Zaphon, and the rest of the kingdom of King Sihon of Heshbon.

In fact, everyone in Israel agreed that David should be their king.

He led me to a place of safety; he rescued me because he delights in me.

He was the one who prayed to the God of Israel,“ Oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory! Please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all trouble and pain!” And God granted him his request.

Some brave and experienced warriors from the tribe of Gad also defected to David while he was at the stronghold in the wilderness. They were expert with both shield and spear, as fierce as lions and as swift as deer on the mountains.Ezer was their leader. Obadiah was second. Eliab was third.Mishmannah was fourth. Jeremiah was fifth.Attai was sixth. Eliel was seventh.Johanan was eighth. Elzabad was ninth.Jeremiah was tenth. Macbannai was eleventh.These warriors from Gad were army commanders.
