from the Jordan eastward
This phrase sets the geographical context of the verse, indicating the direction and scope of the territory being discussed. The Jordan River is a significant landmark in biblical history, often symbolizing a boundary or transition. In Hebrew, "Jordan" (יַרְדֵּן, Yarden) means "descender," reflecting the river's descent from the mountains to the Dead Sea. The eastward direction signifies the lands beyond the Jordan, which were historically given to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. This area was known for its fertile land and strategic importance.

all the land of Gilead
Gilead is a region east of the Jordan River, known for its balm, a healing ointment mentioned in the Bible. The Hebrew root for Gilead (גִּלְעָד, Gil'ad) can mean "heap of testimony" or "rocky region," reflecting both its physical characteristics and its role as a witness to God's promises. Gilead was a place of refuge and healing, symbolizing God's provision and care for His people.

the Gadites, the Reubenites, and the Manassites
These are the tribes of Israel that settled east of the Jordan. The Gadites and Reubenites were known for their livestock and requested this land for its suitability for grazing. The Manassites, specifically the half-tribe of Manasseh, were known for their valor and strength. Each tribe had a unique role and heritage within the nation of Israel, and their settlement in this region fulfilled God's promise to Abraham regarding the land.

from Aroer by the Arnon Gorge
Aroer was a city located near the Arnon Gorge, a significant geographical feature marking the boundary between Moab and the Amorite territory. The Arnon Gorge (נַחַל אַרְנוֹן, Nahal Arnon) was a deep ravine that served as a natural border. Aroer's mention highlights the extent of the territory and the strategic importance of controlling such border regions.

through Gilead to Bashan
This phrase describes the expanse of the territory from Gilead to Bashan. Bashan was a fertile and prosperous region known for its strong cities and mighty warriors. In biblical times, Bashan was synonymous with abundance and strength. The Hebrew root for Bashan (בָּשָׁן, Bashan) can mean "fruitful" or "soft soil," indicating its agricultural richness. This area was often contested due to its resources and strategic location.

(33) From Jordan eastward.--This verse defines the border land which Hazael ravaged, and, in fact, occupied. It was the land east of the Jordan, that is to say, all the land of Gilead, which was the territory of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh.

From Aroer.--Aroer, now 'Ara'ir, on the Arnon, was the southern limit of Gilead, which extended northward to Mount Hermon, and included Bashan. "Even (both) Gilead and Bashan," is added to make it clear that the whole of the land east of the Jordan, and not merely Gilead in the narrower sense, was conquered by Hazael. These conquests of Hazael were characterised by great barbarity. (Comp. Amos 1:3-5, and Elisha's prediction of the same, 2Kings 8:12, supra.) Ewald thinks Hazael took advantage of the internal troubles at the outset of the reign to effect his conquests. But a man of Jehu's energy must soon have established domestic tranquillity.

Verse 33. - From Jordan eastward. The territory west of the Jordan was not attacked at this time. Hazael's expeditious were directed against the trans-Jordanic region, the seats of the three tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh. This tract was far easier of access than the other, and was more tempting, being the richest part of Palestine. The region comprised all the land of Gilead - i.e. the more southern region, reaching from the borders of Moab on the south to the Hieromax or Sheriat-el-Mandhur upon the north, the proper land of the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and [a portion of] the Manassites - together with Bashan, the more northern region, which belonged wholly to Manasseh - from Aroer (now Arair), which is by the river Arnon - the Wady-el-Mojeb, which was the boundary between Israel and Moab (Numbers 21:13, 24), both in the earlier and (Isaiah 16:2) in the later times - even Gilead and Bashan. There is other evidence, besides this, that Hazael was one of the most warlike of the Syrian kings. We find him, on the Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser II., mentioned as a stubborn adversary of the Assyrian arms. In the seventeenth campaign of Shalmaneser, a great battle was fought between the two monarchs. Hazael brought into the field more than twelve hundred chariots, but was defeated, and obliged to retreat, his camp falling into the hands of the enemy ('Records of the Past,' vol. 5. p. 84). Four years later Shalmaneser invaded Hazael's territory, and took, according to his own account (ibid., p. 35), four cities or fortresses belonging to him. He does not claim, however, to have made him a tributary; and By his later annals it is evident that he avoided further contest, preferring to turn his arms in other directions. (On Hazael's campaign in Philistia, and designs against Jerusalem, see the comment upon 2 Kings 12:17, 18,)
