GALAAD

1. Contrée qui, au sens le plus large, est limitée au Nord par le Yarmouk, au Sud par l'Arnon, à l'Est par le désert, à l'Ouest par le Jourdain et la mer Morte. Pays montagneux, couvert de pâturages, assez boisé sur le versant occidental, où les eaux abondantes forment des torrents qui coulent encaissés. Pour la première fois mentionné à propos des démêlés entre Jacob et Laban (Ge 31:21).

La région se faisait une renommée pour sa myrrhe et son baume, que l'on exportait jusqu'en Egypte (Ge 37:25, Jer 8:22 46:11) et pour ses pâturages abondants (Ca 4:3 6:5, No 32:1). On comprend donc facilement pourquoi le roi Sihon n'accorda pas à Israël le passage sur ce territoire (No 21:23) que revendiquèrent Gad et Ruben, riches en troupeaux (No 32:1,5). Moïse le leur accorda, mais donna le N. du pays à la moitié de la tribu de Manassé (No 32:33) qui lutta contre Galaad (No 32:39).

La systématisation des statistiques sacerdotales fit de Galaad un fils du Manassite Makir (No 26:29,1Ch 2:21) et un grand-père de Tsélophcad (No 27:1). Il y eut de même une confusion autour de la personne de Jaïr, fils de Manassé, artisan de la conquête (No 32:41), et Jaïr, juge en Israël ; voir (Jug 10:3 et suivant) Bourgs de Jaïr. Ce qui est sûr, c'est que la lutte fut parfois très vive contre les populations voisines (Ammonites, Moabites), qui disputaient la région de Galaad aux premiers chefs d'Israël : Jephté (Jug 11), Saül (1Sa 11). Lors de la lutte engagée sous l'inspiration de Débora, les Israélites en Galaad étaient restés neutres (Jug 5:17), mais leur pays servit plus tard de retraite à ceux de leurs compatriotes fuyant les Philistins (1Sa 13:7), ou d'asile aux dissidents. (Isboseth, 2Sa 2:8) David s'y réfugia à son tour, au moment de la révolte d'Absalom (2Sa 17:27) et Barzillaï assura son entretien et sa protection (2Sa 19:31,1Ro 2:7). Le pays resta d'ailleurs sous la juridiction des premiers rois d'Israël (2Sa 24:6,1Ro 4:13).

Le prophète Élie habitait en Galaad (1Ro 17:1), et Amos menaçait de la vengeance de l'Éternel Damasquins et Ammonites, coupables de crimes contre les Galaadites (Am 1:3,13), qui n'en étaient pas pour autant irréprochables (Os 6:8 12:11). On recrutait- chez eux les hommes des coups de force (2Ro 15:25). Le pays en lutte contre Damas (Am 1:3,2Ro 10:33) n'échappa pas à l'Assyrie (2Ro 15:29) ; ses habitants furent emmenés captifs. Les rescapés rentrèrent après l'exil, avec Néhémie (Esd 2:61, Ne 7:63), mais étaient une minorité au milieu d'une population païenne. Alexandre Jannée fit souvent la guerre en cette région, que l'influence romaine marqua dès l'époque d'Hérode le Grand.

2. Fils du Manassite Makir (Jos 17:1, No 26:29,1Ch 2:21), grand-père de Tsélophcad (No 27:1).

3. Fils de Micaël (1Ch 5:14).

4. Nom d'une montagne (Jug 7:3) qui, d'après le contexte, se trouvait à l'Ouest du Jourdain et près de la vallée de Jizréel. Le texte hébreu est d'ailleurs très difficile et probablement corrompu. Il n'est donc pas sûr qu'une montagne de Galaad ait existé à l'Ouest du Jourdain, différente de la région montagneuse à l'Est du fleuve. A. P.

      4 He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkey colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havvoth Jair to this day, which are in the land of Gilead.
      8 They troubled and oppressed the children of Israel that year. For eighteen years, they oppressed all the children of Israel that were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.
      17 Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. The children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpah.
      18 The people, the princes of Gilead, said one to another, "What man is he who will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."

      Juges 11

      1 Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor, and he was the son of a prostitute: and Gilead became the father of Jephthah.
      2 Gilead's wife bore him sons; and when his wife's sons grew up, they drove out Jephthah, and said to him, "You shall not inherit in our father's house; for you are the son of another woman."
      3 Then Jephthah fled from his brothers, and lived in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain fellows to Jephthah, and they went out with him.
      4 It happened after a while, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.
      5 It was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah out of the land of Tob;
      6 and they said to Jephthah, "Come and be our chief, that we may fight with the children of Ammon."
      7 Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, "Didn't you hate me, and drive me out of my father's house? Why have you come to me now when you are in distress?"
      8 The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "Therefore we have turned again to you now, that you may go with us, and fight with the children of Ammon; and you shall be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."
      9 Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, "If you bring me home again to fight with the children of Ammon, and Yahweh deliver them before me, shall I be your head?"
      10 The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "Yahweh shall be witness between us; surely according to your word so will we do."
      11 Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them: and Jephthah spoke all his words before Yahweh in Mizpah.
      12 Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, saying, "What have you to do with me, that you have come to me to fight against my land?"
      13 The king of the children of Ammon answered to the messengers of Jephthah, "Because Israel took away my land, when he came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon even to the Jabbok, and to the Jordan: now therefore restore that territory again peaceably."
      14 Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the children of Ammon;
      15 and he said to him, "Thus says Jephthah: Israel didn't take away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon,
      16 but when they came up from Egypt, and Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea , and came to Kadesh;
      17 then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, 'Please let me pass through your land;' but the king of Edom didn't listen. In the same way, he sent to the king of Moab; but he would not: and Israel stayed in Kadesh.
      18 Then they went through the wilderness, and went around the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and they encamped on the other side of the Arnon; but they didn't come within the border of Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab.
      19 Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, 'Please let us pass through your land to my place.'
      20 But Sihon didn't trust Israel to pass through his border; but Sihon gathered all his people together, and encamped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
      21 Yahweh, the God of Israel, delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they struck them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.
      22 They possessed all the border of the Amorites, from the Arnon even to the Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to the Jordan.
      23 So now Yahweh, the God of Israel, has dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and should you possess them?
      24 Won't you possess that which Chemosh your god gives you to possess? So whoever Yahweh our God has dispossessed from before us, them will we possess.
      25 Now are you anything better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them?
      26 While Israel lived in Heshbon and its towns, and in Aroer and its towns, and in all the cities that are along by the side of the Arnon, three hundred years; why didn't you recover them within that time?
      27 I therefore have not sinned against you, but you do me wrong to war against me. Yahweh, the Judge, be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon."
      28 However the king of the children of Ammon didn't listen to the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
      29 Then the Spirit of Yahweh came on Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over to the children of Ammon.
      30 Jephthah vowed a vow to Yahweh, and said, "If you will indeed deliver the children of Ammon into my hand,
      31 then it shall be, that whatever comes forth from the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, it shall be Yahweh's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering."
      32 So Jephthah passed over to the children of Ammon to fight against them; and Yahweh delivered them into his hand.
      33 He struck them from Aroer until you come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and to Abelcheramim, with a very great slaughter. So the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.
      34 Jephthah came to Mizpah to his house; and behold, his daughter came out to meet him with tambourines and with dances: and she was his only child; besides her he had neither son nor daughter.
      35 It happened, when he saw her, that he tore his clothes, and said, "Alas, my daughter! You have brought me very low, and you are one of those who trouble me; for I have opened my mouth to Yahweh, and I can't go back."
      36 She said to him, "My father, you have opened your mouth to Yahweh; do to me according to that which has proceeded out of your mouth, because Yahweh has taken vengeance for you on your enemies, even on the children of Ammon."
      37 She said to her father, "Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may depart and go down on the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my companions."
      38 He said, "Go." He sent her away for two months: and she departed, she and her companions, and mourned her virginity on the mountains.
      39 It happened at the end of two months, that she returned to her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she was a virgin. It was a custom in Israel,
      40 that the daughters of Israel went yearly to celebrate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.

      Juges 12

      4 Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gilead struck Ephraim, because they said, "You are fugitives of Ephraim, you Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim, and in the midst of Manasseh."
      5 The Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites. It was so, that when the fugitives of Ephraim said, "Let me go over," the men of Gilead said to him, "Are you an Ephraimite?" If he said, "No";
      7 Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died, and was buried in the cities of Gilead.

      Juges 20

      1 Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, to Yahweh at Mizpah.

      1 Samuel 11

      1 Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabesh Gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, "Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you."
      2 Nahash the Ammonite said to them, "On this condition I will make it with you, that all your right eyes be put out; and I will lay it for a reproach on all Israel."
      3 The elders of Jabesh said to him, "Give us seven day, that we may send messengers to all the borders of Israel; and then, if there is no one to save us, we will come out to you."
      4 Then the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul, and spoke these words in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
      5 Behold, Saul came following the oxen out of the field; and Saul said, "What ails the people that they weep?" They told him the words of the men of Jabesh.
      6 The Spirit of God came mightily on Saul when he heard those words, and his anger was kindled greatly.
      7 He took a yoke of oxen, and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, "Whoever doesn't come forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen." The dread of Yahweh fell on the people, and they came out as one man.
      8 He numbered them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
      9 They said to the messengers who came, "Thus you shall tell the men of Jabesh Gilead, 'Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you shall have deliverance.'" The messengers came and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
      10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, "Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you shall do with us all that seems good to you."
      11 It was so on the next day, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and struck the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it happened, that those who remained were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
      12 The people said to Samuel, "Who is he who said, 'Shall Saul reign over us?' Bring those men, that we may put them to death!"
