1. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Gilead
   hill of testimony, (Gen. 31:21), a mountainous region east of
   Jordan. From its mountainous character it is called "the mount
   of Gilead" (Gen. 31:25). It is called also "the land of Gilead"
   (Num. 32:1), and sometimes simply "Gilead" (Ps. 60:7; Gen.
   37:25). It comprised the possessions of the tribes of Gad and
   Reuben and the south part of Manasseh (Deut. 3:13; Num. 32:40).
   It was bounded on the north by Bashan, and on the south by Moab
   and Ammon (Gen. 31:21; Deut. 3:12-17). "Half Gilead" was
   possessed by Sihon, and the other half, separated from it by the
   river Jabbok, by Og, king of Bashan. The deep ravine of the
   river Hieromax (the modern Sheriat el-Mandhur) separated Bashan
   from Gilead, which was about 60 miles in length and 20 in
   breadth, extending from near the south end of the Lake of
   Gennesaret to the north end of the Dead Sea. Abarim, Pisgah,
   Nebo, and Peor are its mountains mentioned in Scripture.
