Jair<\/em> ] He was one of the Judges (Jdg 10:3-4<\/span> where thirty cities, not twenty-three, are assigned him).<\/p>\n the land of Gilead<\/em> ] This name is sometimes restricted to that part of the land E. of Jordan which lies S. of the Yarmuk; see Camb. Companion<\/em>, Map 2. Here, as often, it is applied to all the land E. of Jordan occupied by Israel.<\/p>\n Jair, who had three and twenty cities – <\/B>The places called Havoth-Jair in the earlier Scriptures (see Num 32:41<\/span> note), which appear to have been a number of small towns, or villages, in the Ledjah, the Classical Trachonitis.<\/P> <\/p>\n Which he had, though he was of the tribe of Judah, as here we see, because he married a daughter of Manasseh, Num 26:29<\/span>, whence he is called a son of Manasseh, Num 32:41<\/span>; Deu 3:14<\/span>; and because, being a man of great courage, he joined himself with that half tribe in subduing Gilead, wherein he acted so valiantly and successfully, that he had twenty-three cities or great towns given to him to possess or dispose of; or rather, to rule over them, and have some advantage from them; as a king is said to have his kingdom, although he hath not the propriety of all the lands and houses in it. <\/P> <\/p>\n 22. Jair, who had three and twentycities in the land of Gilead<\/B>As the son of Segub and thegrandson of Hezron, he was of the tribe of Judah; but from hismaternal descent he is called (Num 32:41<\/span>;Deu 3:14<\/span>) “the son ofManasseh.” This designation implies that his inheritance lay inthat tribe in right of his grandmother; in other words, his maternal<\/I>and adopting<\/I> great-grandfather was Machir the son of Manasseh.Jair, inheriting his property, was his lineal representative; andaccordingly this is expressly stated to be the case; for the villagegroup of “Havoth-Jair” was awarded to him in that tribe, inconsequence of his valiant and patriotic exploits. This arrangement,however, took place previous to the law (Nu36:1-13<\/span>), by which it was enacted that heiresses were to marry intheir own tribe. But this instance of Jair shows that in the case ofa man obtaining an inheritance in another tribe it required him tobecome thoroughly incorporated with it as a representative of thefamily through which the inheritance was received. He had beenadopted into Manasseh, and it would never have been imagined that hewas other than “a son of Manasseh” naturally, had not thispassage given information supplementary to that of the passage inNumbers.<\/P><\/p>\n And Segub begat Jair, who had twenty three cities in the land of Gilead.<\/strong> Which, according to Kimchi, he inherited in right of his wife, which, he says, he took out of the land of Gilead; but they seem to be rather what he took by force of arms from the former inhabitants; see Nu 32:41<\/span>.<\/p>\n (22) And Segub begat Jair<\/strong> . . .<\/strong>The Havothjair (tent-villages of Jair) are several times mentioned in the Pentateuch. In the passage Num. 32:39-42<\/span> it is related(1) That the Manassite clan of the sons of Machir took Gilead from the Amorites; (2) That Moses then formally assigned Giiead to Machir son of Manasseh, and the clan accordingly settled there; (3) That Jair son of Manasseh had taken their (i.e.,<\/em> the Amorite) tent-villages, and called them Havoth-jair. Comp. Deu. 3:14-15<\/span> : Jair son of Manasseh had taken all the region of Argob unto the bounds of the Geshurite and the Maacnathite; and he called them (that is, Bashan) after his own name, Havoth-jair, unto this day. And to Machir I gave Gilead.<\/p>\n 1Ch. 2:21-23<\/span> show a connection between Jair and the two tribes of Judah and Manasseh thus:<\/p>\n Judah Manasseh Pharez<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Hezron married the daughter of Machir, chief of Gilead<\/p>\n Segub Jair<\/p>\n Jair is of course the name of a<\/strong> group of kindred families or clans, settled in the twenty-three cities.<\/p>\n three and twenty.
