And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
Gad stood within Israel's ordered tribal host, where every tribe had its own standard and its own assigned place both in the camp and on the march. The arrangement kept each tribal company distinct and in order as the whole body moved and rested together. The verse gives the name of the man placed over the host of Gad. Beyond that identification, it supplies no further account of his name or his separate work.
