A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Gad
GAD. A city burned with its inhabitants, at the time of the great convulsions that attended the crucifixion of the Savior. These people were extremely wicked, casting out and stoning and slaying the prophets who reproved them for their abominations. Indeed, there were none righteous left among them, so the Lord sent down fire from heaven and destroyed them, that their crimes might be hid from His face; and that the blood of the saints might no longer cry to Him from the ground against them. Gad is nowhere mentioned except in connection with its destruction, (III Nephi, 9:10, 11).
