1 Chronicles 5:12
"Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat in Bashan."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Joel the chief,.... In this and the following verse are reckoned up the principal men in the tribe of Gad, and the chief of all was Joel, another from him

in the tribe of Reuben, Ch1 5:4 . and Shapham the next; the second chief man, from whom, Reland (x) conjectures, Shophan, a city in the tribe of Gad, had its name, Num 32:35 . and Jaanai; from whom Danjaan might be called, as Michaelis intimates, Sa2 24:6 . and Shaphat in Bashan; not Shaphat the father of Elisha, according to a tradition of the Jews, mentioned by Kimchi; which is not at all probable. (x) Palestin. Illustrat. par. 2. p. 602.
