Quick answer
Gad also builds Atroth-shophan, Jazer, and Jogbehah. The list continues their work of constructing fortified towns.
Overview
More cities are named among Gad's holdings, including Jazer, a place noted elsewhere for its good pastureland. The detailed record affirms the historical reality of the settlement. Such lists, though spare, testify that God's promises are fulfilled in particular places and times, grounding faith in actual history rather than abstraction.
