The seventh son of Jacob and the eighth in order of blessing was the father of a tribe which settled on the land of southern Gilead, situated entirely to the east of the River Jordan and which extended for most of its length between the Dead sea and the Sea of Galilee. It disappeared from history after it was deported to exile by the Assyrian invasions.
