This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
All the cities of Gilead, i.e. all the cities of note and eminency; all cities properly so called, which it seems lay in that part of Gilead; and so this may well agree with Jos_13:25, where half the country of Gilead is said to be given to the Manassites; but there is no mention of any cities there.
Half the land of the children of Ammon; not of that which now was theirs, for that they were forbidden to meddle with, Deu_2:9, but of that which was anciently theirs, but taken from them by the Amorites, Num_21:26, from whom the Israelites took it, Jud_11:15.
Unto Aroer, the border between them and Moab.
Rabbah, the chief city of the Ammonites, 2Sa_11:1 12:26,27.
