Mentioned in the genealogy of Gad
Jorai is listed as one of the heads of the tribe of Gad in the genealogies of 1 Chronicles. He belonged to the leadership among the Gadites who lived in the territories of Gilead and Bashan.
Jorai and the other heads of Gad lived in the region of Bashan, which was a fertile land east of the Jordan. Their genealogies were recorded during the reigns of Jotham, king of Judah, and Jeroboam, king of Israel.
The genealogies of the Gadites, including Jorai, were recorded in connection with official censuses under King Jotham of Judah and King Jeroboam II of Israel.
The tribe of Gad, to which Jorai belonged, was known for its skilled warriors. The tribe had a strong military tradition and protected Israel's eastern border regions.
18The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had valiant men who carried shield and sword and drew the bow, trained for battle: forty-four thousand seven hundred sixty ready for military service.
20They were given help against them, and the Hagrites and all their allies were handed over to them, for they cried out to God in the battle, and he answered their plea because they trusted in him.
