This division occurred when the Israelites were conquering the Promised Land, and the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of Manasseh requested to settle in the fertile lands of Gilead (Numbers 32). Gilead was known for its balm, a valuable commodity in ancient times (<a href="/jeremiah/8-22.htm">Jeremiah 8:22</a>). Iddo, son of Zechariah, is mentioned as a leader or official over this region, indicating a structured governance system within the tribes. The name Iddo means "timely" or "appointed," and Zechariah means "Yahweh remembers," which may reflect the faithfulness of these leaders to God's timing and promises.<p><b>over Benjamin was Jaasiel son of Abner;</b><br>The tribe of Benjamin held significant importance in Israel's history, being the tribe of King Saul, the first king of Israel (<a href="/1_samuel/9.htm">1 Samuel 9:1-2</a>). Benjamin's territory was strategically located between the northern and southern tribes, often serving as a buffer zone. Jaasiel, son of Abner, is noted as the leader over Benjamin. Abner was a prominent military commander under King Saul and a cousin to Saul (<a href="/1_samuel/14-50.htm">1 Samuel 14:50</a>). The name Jaasiel means "God is my strength," which may reflect the reliance on divine strength for leadership. This connection to Abner suggests a continuation of influence and leadership within the tribe, despite the political shifts following Saul's reign.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/iddo_son_of_zechariah.htm">Iddo son of Zechariah</a></b><br>Iddo is mentioned as the leader over the half-tribe of Manasseh in Gilead.
