דברי הימים א, פרק ה׳, פסוק ט״ז

The settlement of the tribe spread across vast areas, extending from central cities into the surrounding landscapes. The territory they occupied in the regions of Gilead and Bashan was actually land granted to them by the tribe of Manasseh, given out of Manasseh's own designated portion [מלבי״ם].

Instead of limiting their presence to large towns, the people branched out into smaller neighboring villages and the open districts of the Sharon region. The houses in these outskirts were located outside the main city walls, visually appearing as if they had been pushed out from the city center [מצודת ציון]. This outward growth reflected an active expansion of the tribe's borders toward the Sharon [מלבי״ם]. They inhabited the region all the way to its absolute edges [מצודת דוד, ביאור שטיינזלץ]. Reaching these furthest boundaries involved settling new, external territories that were added to their inheritance after they conquered the area from the Hagrites [מלבי״ם].
