From: Concise Bible Dictionary: J By: George A. Morrish

Son of Gilead and his descendants (Num. 26:30³⁰These are the sons of Gilead: of Jeezer, the family of the Jeezerites: of Helek, the family of the Helekites: (Numbers 26:30)). Apparently the same as ABIEZER and ABIEZRITES in Joshua 17:2²There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families. (Joshua 17:2); Judges 6:11¹¹And there came an angel of the Lord, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites. (Judges 6:11), and more (one letter being omitted).
