Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 10. - Among such conflicts, one with a people descended presumably from Hagar or Ishmael (though 1 Chronicles 27:30, 31, and Psalm 83:6 are somewhat needlessly interpreted to be opposed to this) is here alluded to. It takes us to the time of Saul, and from that time up to the time of "the Captivity" (ver. 22) the victorious Reubenites, Gadites, and people of the half-tribe Manasseh had the benefit of enlarged domain at their expense: "They dwelt in their steads," after seizing great spoil. It is exceedingly likely that we have the perpetuation of the name Hagarenes in the Agraeei (modern Hejer) of Strabo, 16:767; Pliny, 'Hist. Nat.,' 6:32; Dionysius, 'Perieg.,' 956; Pt. 5:2 (see art. "Hagarenes" in Smith's 'Bible Dictionary').
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(10) And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarites.--The great extension of the tribe in an easterly direction took place in the reign of Saul, the first king of Israel. Bela and his clan victoriously fought with the Hagarites (Heb., Hagri'im) or Hagarenes (see Psalm 83:7, Hagrim), that is, the sons of Hagar, for possession of the pasture-grounds east of Gilead. This Arab nation is mentioned in the Assyrian inscriptions. (The LXX. has ???? ?????????, i.e., hagg?rim, u sojourners," "nomads.")They dwelt in their tents.--This phrase first occurs in Genesis 9:27. The Belaites occupied the territory of the Hagarites.Throughout all the east land of Gilead.--Rather, on the whole eastern side or border of Gilead. This includes the new settlements of Bela beyond the border.
