Descendants of Gad

Gad is a tribe where prayer plays a role (1Chr 5:20). Just like Jabez, the Gadites are also answered. In a joint war of the tribes on the east side of the Jordan against the Hagrites they cry out to God. By this they overcome, and not by their defensibility and skill in battle (1Chr 5:18). This war was not waged for their own benefit, but for God, it was a “war of God” (1Chr 5:22). Although that was the case, they had to fight themselves. Their crying to God is mentioned and shows that God remembers the moments when these tribes also showed their dependence on Him.
