Havothjair
[Ha’voth-jair]
This signifies ‘towns of Jair.’ They were in “the country of Argob unto the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi;” and were also called Bashan-havoth-jair.” Deu 3:14. They were small towns of Gilead. Num 32:41. The same are called ‘towns of Jair’ in Jos 13:30; 1Ki 4:13; 1Ch 2:23. The name occurs again in Jdg 10:4. See JAIR.

Havothjair
Havoth-ja’ir. (villages of Jair). Certain villages on the east of Jordan, in Gilead or Bashan, which were taken by Jair the son of Manasseh, and called after his name. Num 32:41; Deu 3:14. In the records of Manasseh in Jos 13:30 and 1Ch 2:23, the Havoth-jair are reckoned with other districts as making up sixty “cities.” Compare 1Ki 4:13.
There is apparently some confusion in these different statements, as to what the sixty cities really consisted of. No less doubtful is the number of the Havoth-Jair. In 1Ch 2:22, they are specified as twenty-three, but in Jdg 10:4, as thirty.
