2 notes on this verseon Joshua 13:24-28
Succoth and Penuel, which we read of in the story of Gideon, were in this tribe; and that forest which is called the wood of Ephraim (from the slaughter Jephthah made there of the Ephraimites), in which Absalom's rebellious army was beaten, while his father David lay at Mahanaim, one of the frontier-cities of this tribe,
This site's exposition
unto the tribe of Gad
on Joshua 13:24-31
Gad inherits Jacob's ground. Mahanaim at verse 26 is where Jacob met the angels of God at Genesis 32:1-2, and Succoth at verse 27 is where he built booths for his cattle at Genesis 33:17. Adam Clarke identifies the Ramath-mizpeh of verse 26 with Ramoth-gilead, which becomes a city of refuge at Joshua 20:8 and the field where Ahab dies in 1 Kings 22. Manasseh receives the threescore towns of Jair, taken and named by Jair at Numbers 32:41, and a later Jair judges Israel at Judges 10:3-4 with thirty sons in thirty cities that were still called Havoth-jair when that verse was written.
