The context of <a href="/1_chronicles/5.htm">1 Chronicles 5</a> involves the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, who were settled on the east side of the Jordan River. These tribes were often in conflict with neighboring peoples. The phrase "many others fell slain" underscores the scale of the victory, suggesting divine intervention and favor. This mirrors other biblical battles where God grants victory to His people, such as in the battles led by Joshua (<a href="/joshua/10-10.htm">Joshua 10:10-11</a>) and Gideon (<a href="/judges/7-22.htm">Judges 7:22</a>).<p><b>because the battle belonged to God</b><br>This phrase emphasizes the theological perspective that God is the ultimate source of victory. It reflects the belief that success in battle is not due to human strength or strategy but to divine will. This concept is echoed in other scriptures, such as <a href="/1_samuel/17-47.htm">1 Samuel 17:47</a>, where David declares that "the battle is the Lord's" before defeating Goliath. It highlights the sovereignty of God over the affairs of nations and His ability to deliver His people. This idea is central to the faith of Israel and serves as a reminder of reliance on God rather than human might.<p><b>And they occupied the land until the exile</b><br>This phrase refers to the period of occupation by the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. Their settlement in the Transjordan region was initially granted by Moses (Numbers 32) and confirmed by Joshua (<a href="/joshua/13-8.htm">Joshua 13:8-13</a>). The "exile" mentioned here refers to the Assyrian captivity, which occurred in 722 BC when the northern kingdom of Israel was conquered and its people were deported (<a href="/2_kings/17-6.htm">2 Kings 17:6</a>). This historical event marked the end of their occupation of the land. The phrase serves as a reminder of the consequences of disobedience to God, as the exile was a result of Israel's persistent idolatry and sin. It also foreshadows the ultimate exile and restoration themes found throughout the prophetic books, pointing to the hope of redemption and return.<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 were involved in the battle described in this passage.
