THE BOOK OF GAD THE SEER as referred to in The Holy Bible mentioned in FIRST CHRONICLES 29:29 CHAPTER 1 1. In the Seventh year of the false gods, there was a discussion regarding the domain of the unseen deity. This great conversation resulted in a parting of the ways between the children of Israel. (I SAMUEL 8 WHOLE CHAPTER) 2. Each individual was to attend in the exodus under the breach of their native tribe and family. There were to be no exceptions. The destination was that of a determined inheritance of land. For a season there was peace. Every man and woman would work together and prepare a suitable environment for comfortable homesteading. (JOSHUA 13:8, 24, 28) (I KINGS 4:25) (I CHRONICLES 5:22) 3. The peaceful seasons cannot endure of their own accord, inasmuch as a thing done cannot forever dwell apart from the doer. And so during the unfortunate occurrence of perverse vanity, the tribes which made war without a cause became the same which were mostly exiled into captivity. (I CHRONICLES 5:22) 4. The greatest of the warriors were the Gadites. Therefore, in the hour of the harvest, the Gadites reaped that which they had afore sown. (I CHRONICLES 5:18) 5. In the days when Saul the king was in the place of God, the children of Gad transgressed against the only true God, and they became slaves to vanity. The Gadites had went a-whoring after vain things. Now the Assyrians were a collective group of oneness and their unified body had readily determined to overthrow the government of the Gadites. (I CHRONICLES 5:10, 25) 6. The Assyrians had circled the camp round-about and surrounded the Gadites totally whithersoever the Gadites were encamped. Many mighty men of valour were slaughtered. The surviving portion of the Gadites were enslaved and transported unto a strange land whence they knew not, save the few young ones which escaped, for the Gadites which were in their youth were as swift as the roes upon the mountains. Not all of them, but a certain few of them were like the gazelles upon the mountains for speed. (I CHRONICLES 12:8) (I CHRONICLES 5:26) 7. To avoid being captured those who did escape had each separated one from the other. Of the youth which escaped there were ten boys and seven girls. (JOHN 21:22) 8. Now of the swift youth Gadite boys which ran away from the siege was a boy by name of Eliab the Gadite. Eliab was a gifted Gadite, for when the other Gadites were such that they craved war and the spilling of blood and such like, Eliab the Gadite despised killing because he felt within his own heart and mind and soul that his strength was a gift from God and it should never be abused or misused in any way. (I CHRONICLES 12:9) 9. Wherefore Eliab obtained great favour from The LORD and of the seventeen which escaped, Eliab was even of the fifteen Gadite youths to find a choice place to take refuge, and the place where Eliab found to take him in as one of their own was in the home of Jesse the Bethlehemite. The others found homes also, each one where The LORD saw fit. (PROVERBS 14:26) 10. But it was a needful thing for Eliab the Gadite to abide in the home of Jesse. Eliab was only two years older than was David. Eliab the Gadite was considered the son of Jesse by Birthright from that day forward, but not ever by Genealogy. The Genealogy and the Birthright are not the same thing. The genealogy is generally composed of the recorded branches and fruits upon the family tree. The actual offspring of an individual marks the generating of substantial expansion and in due season results in a so-called family tree. Whereas a birthright is typically an inheritance. There are various types of birthrights because there is no rules by which birthrights must be distributed unto the heirs. Eliab the Gadite was not materialistic and so the sons of Jesse marveled at him from day to day understanding not where his content composure came from. Eliab the Gadite was just thankful and appreciative that a family had taken him into their home. In the case of Jesse the Bethlehemite regarding Eliab the Gadite being adopted by the same, the genealogy was not reckoned after the birthright. (I CHRONICLES 5:1) 11. Seeing that the genealogy is not reckoned after the birthright of Eliab the Gadite, there is no evidence of his existence in the family tree of the sons of Jesse the Bethlehemite. Nevertheless, Eliab the Gadite was there among the sons of Jesse the Bethlehemite and his birthright was tangible, for he was reckoned as one of the sons of Jesse. (I CHRONICLES 2:13-15) 12. Nevertheless, because the firstborn of Jesse was also called Eliab, Jesse gave Eliab the Gadite a new name in order to avoid confusion in the event that he may need to talk to them or about them, for if they both shared the same name then they would not know which one of them Jesse might be speaking to or about. (I CORINTHIANS 14:33) 13. So because Eliab the Gadite was of the Gadites, Jesse called Eliab the Gadite after his native tribe from whence he had come. Jesse called him Gad, and his firstborn kept his birth-name. So there were seven sons of Jesse recorded in the family tree, but there were eight sons in the house of Jesse. (I CHRONICLES 2:13-15) (I SAMUEL 16:10) (I SAMUEL 17:12)
