Their territory was east of Gilead, in the region of modern-day Jordan. The seizing of livestock indicates a significant victory over the Hagrites, reflecting the common practice of taking spoils of war. This act demonstrates the fulfillment of God's promise to give the Israelites victory over their enemies when they were obedient to Him.<p><b>50,000 camels,</b><br>Camels were valuable assets in ancient times, especially for nomadic tribes like the Hagrites. They were essential for transportation and trade across the desert regions. The large number of camels seized signifies the wealth and resources of the Hagrites and the magnitude of the victory for the Israelites.<p><b>250,000 sheep,</b><br>Sheep were a primary source of wealth and sustenance, providing wool, milk, and meat. The vast number of sheep taken underscores the prosperity of the Hagrites and the extent of the plunder. This also reflects the pastoral lifestyle of the region and the importance of livestock in the economy.<p><b>and 2,000 donkeys.</b><br>Donkeys were crucial for agricultural work and transportation. The capture of donkeys further highlights the comprehensive nature of the victory. In biblical symbolism, donkeys often represent service and humility, contrasting with the warlike nature of the conquest.<p><b>They also took 100,000 captives,</b><br>Taking captives was a common practice in ancient warfare, often used to increase a tribe's labor force or as leverage in negotiations. The large number of captives indicates the scale of the conflict and the dominance of the Israelites over the Hagrites. This event can be seen as a fulfillment of God's promise to expand Israel's territory and influence, as well as a reminder of the consequences of opposing God's chosen people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_reubenites,_gadites,_and_the_half-tribe_of_manasseh.htm">The Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh</a></b><br>These tribes of Israel were involved in the battle against the Hagrites.
