Gilead.
strength.
Judah.
 He claims the tribes of Israel as His. Gilead and Manasseh represent His people east of Jordan; Ephraim and Judah represent them on the west side. One is the most important tribe in the north as the other is the leading tribe in the south. Thus every quarter of the land is claimed by God. Politically these two tribes have a leading place; Ephraim being the warrior tribe (Deut. 33:17), and Judah the leading tribe in government (Gen. 49:10). (Psalms 60 by H. Smith)
