Bashan and Gilead had been part of Israel long ago, when David was king.
7:14
• With a shepherd’s staff, an ancient Near Eastern shepherd could defend his sheep from wild beasts. Likewise, the prophet prayed that God would protect his people from hostile Gentile nations (cp. Exod 4:1-5).
• special possession: Cp. Exod 19:5; Deut 7:6; 14:2; 26:18; Mal 3:17; 1 Pet 2:9.
• Bashan and Gilead, east of the Jordan River, were part of the Lord’s earliest gifts to the Israelite tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh (Josh 13:15-31). Assyria annexed these territories and took these tribes away in the 700s BC. Israel’s ownership would be restored and expanded.
