Gill's Notes on the Bible
Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle,.... By which it seems that they had more in proportion than any of the other tribes; by what means it is not easy to say; very probably they were more addicted to the pastoral life, and took more delight in breeding cattle, and were more diligent in taking care of them: however, the reason for this observation presently follows:
and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead; Jazer was in the kingdom of Sihon, and Gilead in the kingdom of Og, which had been both conquered by the Israelites:
that, behold, the place was a place for cattle; where much cattle was fed, there being a great deal of good pasturage for them: Jazer appears to be a well watered country, Jeremiah 48:32, and Gilead and Bashan which joined and belonged to the same country of Og, who was king of Bashan, were famous for good feeding of cattle: hence we read of the bulls of Bashan, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats on Mount Gilead that looked plump and sleek; see Micah 7:14.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Jazer - Compare the marginal reference. This district, although included in the land of Gilead, seems to have had special attractions for the Israelite settlers. All travelers in Gilead, the modern Belka, bear witness to its richness as compared with the country to the west of the Jordan. Its general character is that of an upland pasture, undulating and thickly timbered. In the last respect its northern portions excel its southern; but for fertility of soil the southern province is preferred by the Arabs, in whose lips it has passed into a proverb: “Thou canst not find a country like the Belka.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible

inheritance on this side of Jordan, 1-5.

They explain themselves, and propose conditions, with which
Moses is satisfied-they are to build cities for their wives and
children, and folds for their cattle, and go ever Jordan armed
with the other tribes, and fight against their enemies till the
land is subdued; after which they are to return, 16-27.
Moses proposes the business to Eleazar, Joshua, and the elders,
28-30.
The Gadites and Reubenites promise a faithful observance of the
conditions, 31, 32;
on which Moses assigns to them, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of
Og, king of Bashan, 33.
The cities built by the Gadites, 34-36.
The cities built by the Reubenites, 37, 38.
