And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, etc.] That part of it which Moses gave unto the half tribe of Manasseh, which till now was in the hand of the Amorites; for half Mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, were given to the Reubenites and Gadites, which is the land of Gilead they desired, and which was already conquered; for they call it the country which the Lord smote before Israel, (<043201>Numbers 32:1,4 <050312>Deuteronomy 3:12,13): and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it; for though they were driven out of one part of Gilead, yet not out of the whole.
