Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 5:10
They made war; the Gadites and Manassites joining with them in the war, ,19. With the Hagarites; the Ishmeelites, who dwelt in Arabia the Desert. They dwelt in their tents; the Israelites took possession of their lands, and tents or houses. Throughout all the east land of Gilead; which lay eastward from the land of Gilead.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 5:10
1 Chronicles 5:10 And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarites, who fell by their hand: and they dwelt in their tents throughout all the east [land] of Gilead.Ver. 10. They made war with the Hagarites,] i.e., Ishmaelites inhabiting Arabia deserta. These, ashamed of their mother Hagar the handmaid, would afterwards need for honour’ s sake be called Saracens, by the name of Sarah the mistress, as saith Sozomen. This so pleased the rest of the Arabians, that they would all be called Saracens. Mohammed their general grew famous in the days of Heraclius the emperor, and subdued many countries. Now they are called Turks, &c. And they dwelt in their tents.] Few countries but have changed their inhabitants: such is the vanity of all here below. The Athenians vaunted, but vainly, that they were αυτοχθονες, bred out of the land they lived upon, as so many mushrooms or grasshoppers. Lib. vii. cap. 38. Am.
Marc.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 5:10
(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 Psalms 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 τοὺςπαροίκους, i.e., haggβrξm, 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.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 5:10
Verse 10. And they dwelt in their tents] The Hagarites were tribes of Nomade, or Scenite, Arabs; people who lived in tents, without any fixed dwellings, and whose property consisted in cattle. The descendants of Reuben extirpated these Hagarites, seized on their property and their tents, and dwelt in their place.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 5:10
10. in the days of Saul] Saul’s great victory over the Ammonites (1 Samuel 11) may have paved the way for the expansion of Israel east of Jordan. the Hegarites] R.V. the Hagrites as Psalms 83:6 (R.V. mg.). They were an Arab people. Details of the war are given 1 Chronicles 5:18-22. the east land of Gilead] R.V. the land east of Gilead, i.e. the land between Gilead and the Euphrates (cp. 1 Chronicles 5:9).
Barnes' Notes on 1 Chronicles 5:10
The “Hagarites” or “Hagarenes” are generally regarded as descendants of Hagar, and a distinct branch of the Ishmaelites 1 Chronicles 27:30-31; Psalms 83:6.
Whedon's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 5:10
10. The Hagarites — The same as the Ishmaelites, who were all descended from Hagar, Sarah’s Egyptian hand-maid, and were scattered over the vast deserts between Egypt and Assyria. See on Genesis 25:12-18.
