Commentary

3 notes on this verse
The writer refers here to two registrations, one made under the authority of Jeroboam II when he was king and Israel flourishing, the other made under the authority of Jotham, king of Judah, during the troublous time which followed on the great invasion of Tiglath-pileser. There is nothing surprising in a king of Judah having exercised a species of lordship over the trans-Jordanic territory at this period.

This site's exposition

dwelt over against them

on 1 Chronicles 5:11-17

Gad settled across from Reuben in Bashan, the tableland running to Salchah, and verse 17 says the line was reckoned twice over, once under Jotham king of Judah and once under Jeroboam king of Israel. Barnes reads the double dating as a sign that Judah still exercised some claim over the tribes east of Jordan in that period, even after the kingdom split. Gad's towns reached into the suburbs of Sharon, a name shared with the coastal plain near Joppa but here marking a district of Bashan itself.
