Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
The loss of the entire trans-Jordanic territory seems to be intended, or at any rate its complete ruin and devastation (compare marginal reference "y"). This was the home of the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and of the half tribe of Manasseh Jos 22:1-9. It was more accessible from Damascus than the region west of the river.

Aroer - There were several places of this name. The one here mentioned is the most famous (compare Deu 2:36 note).

Even Gilead and Bashan - The writer had previously called the whole territory "Gilead;" now he distinguishes it, more accurately, into Gilead, the southern, and Bashan, the northern region Kg1 4:13, Kg1 4:19.

19 Geber [01398] the son [01121] of Uri [0221] was in the country [0776] of Gilead [01568], in the country [0776] of Sihon [05511] king [04428] of the Amorites [0567], and of Og [05747] king [04428] of Bashan [01316]; and he was the only [0259] officer [05333] which was in the land [0776].
13 The son of Geber [01127], in Ramothgilead [01568] [07433]; to him pertained the towns [02333] of Jair [02971] the son [01121] of Manasseh [04519], which are in Gilead [01568]; to him also pertained the region [02256] of Argob [0709], which is in Bashan [01316], threescore [08346] great [01419] cities [05892] with walls [02346] and brasen [05178] bars [01280]:
36 From Aroer [06177], which is by the brink [08193] of the river [05158] of Arnon [0769], and from the city [05892] that is by the river [05158], even unto Gilead [01568], there was not one city [07151] too strong [07682] for us: the LORD [03068] our God [0430] delivered [05414] all unto us [06440]:
1 Then Joshua [03091] called [07121] the Reubenites [07206], and the Gadites [01425], and the half [02677] tribe [04294] of Manasseh [04519],
2 And said [0559] unto them, Ye have kept [08104] all that Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] you, and have obeyed [08085] my voice [06963] in all that I commanded [06680] you:
3 Ye have not left [05800] your brethren [0251] these many [07227] days [03117] unto this day [03117], but have kept [08104] the charge [04931] of the commandment [04687] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430].
4 And now the LORD [03068] your God [0430] hath given rest [05117] unto your brethren [0251], as he promised [01696] them: therefore now return [06437] ye, and get [03212] you unto your tents [0168], and unto the land [0776] of your possession [0272], which Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] gave [05414] you on the other side [05676] Jordan [03383].
5 But take diligent [03966] heed [08104] to do [06213] the commandment [04687] and the law [08451], which Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] charged [06680] you, to love [0157] the LORD [03068] your God [0430], and to walk [03212] in all his ways [01870], and to keep [08104] his commandments [04687], and to cleave [01692] unto him, and to serve [05647] him with all your heart [03824] and with all your soul [05315].
6 So Joshua [03091] blessed [01288] them, and sent them away [07971]: and they went [03212] unto their tents [0168].
7 Now to the one half [02677] of the tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519] Moses [04872] had given [05414] possession in Bashan [01316]: but unto the other half [02677] thereof gave [05414] Joshua [03091] among [05973] their brethren [0251] on this side [05676] Jordan [03383] westward [03220]. And when Joshua [03091] sent them away [07971] also unto their tents [0168], then he blessed [01288] them,
8 And he spake [0559] unto them, saying [0559], Return [07725] with much [07227] riches [05233] unto your tents [0168], and with very [03966] much [07227] cattle [04735], with silver [03701], and with gold [02091], and with brass [05178], and with iron [01270], and with very [03966] much [07235] raiment [08008]: divide [02505] the spoil [07998] of your enemies [0341] with your brethren [0251].
9 And the children [01121] of Reuben [07205] and the children [01121] of Gad [01410] and the half [02677] tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519] returned [07725], and departed [03212] from the children [01121] of Israel [03478] out of Shiloh [07887], which is in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], to go [03212] unto the country [0776] of Gilead [01568], to the land [0776] of their possession [0272], whereof they were possessed [0270], according to the word [06310] of the LORD [03068] by the hand [03027] of Moses [04872].
