And they made war with the Hagarites,.... Before mentioned, 1Ch 5:19. with Jetur, and Nephish: with the posterity of these men, who were sons of Ishmael, Gen 25:15 and so was Nodab; perhaps the same with Kedemah, mentioned along with the other two there; so Hillerus (z) thinks. (z) Onomastic. Sacr. p. 554.

This site's exposition

able to bear buckler and sword

on 1 Chronicles 5:18-22

Reuben, Gad and half of Manasseh mustered forty and four thousand seven hundred and threescore men able to bear the buckler, the sword and the bow, and threw that strength against the Hagarites and their allies Jetur, Nephish and Nodab. Verse 20 gives the victory its true cause: they cried to God in the battle and he was entreated of them, because they put their trust in him, and verse 22 restates it plainly, the war was of God. Wesley draws the lesson direct, an army may expect to prosper in any undertaking only when it takes God along, and Henry reads the answered cry as proof that believing prayer is the prayer that prevails.

The record, by era

The Nineteenth Century3 voices

Jetur no doubt gave his name to the important tribe of the Ituraeans who inhabited the region southwest of the Damascene plain, between Gaulonitis (Jaulan) and the Ledjah. This tribe was noted for its thievish habits, and was regarded as savage and warlike.

proposed

These, who were skilled in archery, were invaded in the time of Joshua by a confederate army of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half Manasseh, who, probably incensed by the frequent raids of those marauding neighbors, took reprisals in men and cattle, dispossessed almost all of the original inhabitants, and colonized the district themselves.

They made war with the Hagarites - This is probably the same war that is mentioned 1Ch 5:10. Those called Hagarites in the text are everywhere denominated by the Targum הונגראיי Hongaraai, Hongarites.
