Then land was given to the family group of Manasseh. Manasseh was Joseph’s first son. Manasseh’s first son was Makir, the father of Gilead. [61] Makir was a great soldier, so the areas of Gilead and Bashan were given to the Makir family.
In that same year those people destroyed the people of Israel that lived on the east side of the Jordan River, in the area of Gilead. That is the land where the Amorite people had lived. Those people of Israel suffered for 18 years.
The men of Ephraim came
from the hill country of Amalek. [45] Benjamin, those men followed you
and your people.
And there were commanders
from the family of Makir. [46] Leaders from the family group of Zebulun
came with their bronze clubs.
