Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Chronicles 5:9

_ _ Eastward he inhabited unto the entering in of the wilderness from the river Euphrates — The settlement was on the east of Jordan, and the history of this tribe, which never took any part in the public affairs or movements of the nation, is comprised in “the multiplication of their cattle in the land of Gilead,” in their wars with the Bedouin sons of Hagar, and in the simple labors of pastoral life. They had the right of pasture over an extensive mountain range — the great wilderness of Kedemoth (Deuteronomy 2:26) and the Euphrates being a security against their enemies.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Chronicles 5:1-17.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Chronicles 5:9

Euphrates — From Jordan and the wilderness beyond it unto Euphrates. Or, of the wilderness, which lies towards or reacheth to the river Euphrates, namely, the great wilderness of Kedemoth, Deuteronomy 2:26, which was extended far and wide towards Euphrates: for that was the eastern border of Reuben's possession, and not Euphrates, to which their habitation never reached. Multiplied — Which forced them to enlarge their habitation as far as they could towards Euphrates.
