Why did some Jews settle in Gilead instead of the Promised Land after 40 years in the wilderness?
When Moses asked Sichon (King of the Emorites) to allow the Israelites to pass through his land, he attacked them (Numbers ch.21). In the ensuing battle, God gave victory to the Israelites. Og, King of Bashan, also attacked (ibid. 21:33) and was defeated. Thus the Israelites found themselves in possession of Sichon and Og's lands. These areas were adjacent to Israel (Canaan) and there had already been indications that they would eventually be joined to it (see Genesis 15:19 and Rashi; Deuteronomy 19:8). Some of the tribes would have to settle there; so it was serendipitous when the people of Reuvain and Gad volunteered to do so (Numbers ch.32).
