Context — The Descendants of Reuben
6and Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria carried into exile. Beerah was a leader of the Reubenites.
7His relatives by their clans are recorded in their genealogy: Jeiel the chief, Zechariah,
8and Bela son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel. They settled in Aroer and as far as Nebo and Baal-meon.
9They also settled in the east as far as the edge of the desert that extends to the Euphrates River, because their livestock had increased in the land of Gilead. 10During the days of Saul they waged war against the Hagrites, who were defeated at their hands, and they occupied the dwellings of the Hagrites throughout the region east of Gilead.Cross References

1 Chronicles 5:8 Summary
This verse tells us about a man named Bela, who was a descendant of Joel, and where his family lived.

Reflection Questions
- What can we learn about the importance of family and community from the way this verse describes the settling of Bela's family?
- How does this verse encourage us to think about our own heritage and the faithfulness of God in our lives?

Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 5:8
And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel,.... The pedigree of Bela, another principal man in the tribe of Reuben, is traced up to Joel the father of Shema; the same with Shemaiah,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 5:8
And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was reckoned, were the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah, No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 5:8
Who dwelt, to wit, the Reubenites, all these here before mentioned, as appears both by the following verses, which relate to the whole tribe; and by the agreement of this description of their inheritance with that, ,16.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 5:8
(8) Bela.—His descent is traced, like that of Beerah. but through fewer names. This does not necessarily imply that Bela and Beerah were not contemporaries. Intermediate names are often omitted in genealogies. (See Joshua 7:18 : “Achan son of Carmi son of Zabdi son of Zerah,” and 1 Chronicles 5:24, “Achan son of Zerah,” and the different lengths of the pedigrees of Heman, Asaph, and Ethan in 1 Chronicles 6:33-47.) It is not likely that the Joel of 1 Chronicles 5:8 is the same as the Joel of 1 Chronicles 5:4, in spite of the further coincidence of Shema-Shemiah. Who dwelt.—He was dwelling, that is, he and his clan.Aroer.—Now Arâ’ir, on the north bank of the Arnon (Joshua 12:2). Nebo, a place on the famous mount Nebo, in the region east of the Dead Sea (now Jebel Neba, Deuteronomy 34:1), over against Jericho (Numbers 32:38). Baal-meon.—Or, Beth-bqal-meon, now Ma’in, about two miles south-east of Heshbon. Aroer gives the southern Nebo, and Baalmeon the northern, limits of the tribe. All three places are mentioned on the Stone of Mesha, kings of Moab (2 Kings 3:4-27).
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 5:8
Verse 8. Who dwelt in Aroer] This town was situated on the river Arnon; and Nebo was both a city and a mountain in the same country. They both lay on the other side of Jordan.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 5:8
8. Aroer] now ‘Ar‘âir, a heap of ruins near the wâdy Mojib, i.e. the Arnon (Joshua 12:2). It passed from Sihon king of the Amorites into the hands of the Reubenites at the Conquest (ib. Joshua 13:16). See Bädeker, p. 191. Nebo and Baal-meon] A line drawn due N. from Aroer (see last note), passes close first to Ma‘in (which may be Baal-meon) and then to Jebel Nebâ, which evidently preserves the name of Mount Nebo. Baal-meon] called more correctly Beth-baal-meon Joshua 13:17.
