This Gilead entry refers to the father of Jephthah in Judges 11, not to the Gadite ancestor or the region name. He belongs to the family setting behind one of Israel's later judges. First appears in Judg 11:1.1
AI summary: This Gilead matters because his single cross reference anchors Jephthah's story in a named household marked by tension over legitimacy and inheritance. The entry helps explain the social setting from which the judge emerges. Taken together, the material presents this Gilead as a familial source in the background of Jephthah.1
