Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Samuel 24:5

_ _ they passed over Jordan — This census was taken first in the eastern parts of the Hebrew kingdom; and it would seem that Joab was accompanied by a military force, either to aid in this troublesome work, or to overawe the people who might display reluctance or opposition.

_ _ the river of Gad — “Wady” would be a better term. It extends over a course estimated at about sixty miles, which, though in summer almost constantly dry, exhibits very evident traces of being swept over by an impetuous torrent in winter (see Deuteronomy 2:36).
