The meaning of Gad (2) in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)

(gadh, "fortunate"): David's seer (chozeh, I Chronicles 21:9; I Chronicles 29:29; II Chronicles 29:25), or prophet (nabhi'; compare I Samuel 22:5; II Samuel 24:11). He appears (1) to advise David while an outlaw fleeing before Saul to return to the land of Judah (I Samuel 22:5); (2) to rebuke David and give him his choice of punishments when, in spite of the advice of Joab and the traditional objections (compare Exodus 30:11 ff.), he had counted the children of Israel (II Samuel 24:11; I Chronicles 21:9 ff.); (3) to instruct David to erect an altar on the threshing-floor of Araunah when the plague that had descended on Israel ceased (II Samuel 24:18; I Chronicles 21:18); and (4) to assist in the arrangement of Levitical music with cymbals, psalteries and harps (compare II Chronicles 29:25). Of his writings none are known, though he is said to have written a history of a part of David's reign (I Chronicles 29:29).
