Ulangan 3:14

3:14 Jair, son of Manasseh, took all the Argob region as far as the border with the Geshurites ¹  and Maacathites ²  (namely Bashan) and called it by his name, Havvoth-Jair, ³  which it retains to this very day.)

Yosua 13:30

13:30 Their territory started at ⁴  Mahanaim and encompassed all Bashan, the whole realm of King Og of Bashan, including all sixty cities in Havvoth Jair ⁵  in Bashan.

Hakim-hakim 10:4

10:4 He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys and possessed thirty cities. To this day these towns are called Havvoth Jair ⁶  – they are in the land of Gilead. ⁷ 

Hakim-hakim 10:1

Stability Restored

10:1 After Abimelech’s death, ⁸  Tola son of Puah, grandson ⁹  of Dodo, from the tribe of Issachar, ¹⁰  rose up to deliver Israel. He lived in Shamir in the Ephraimite hill country.

1 Tawarikh 2:23

2:23 (Geshur and Aram captured the towns of Jair, ¹¹  along with Kenath and its sixty surrounding towns.) All these were descendants of Makir, the father of Gilead.

[3:14]  ¹ sn Geshurites. Geshur was a city and its surrounding area somewhere northeast of Bashan (cf. Josh 12:5 ; 13:11, 13). One of David’s wives was Maacah, the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur and mother of Absalom (cf. 2 Sam 13:37; 15:8; 1 Chr 3:2).

[3:14]  ² sn Maacathites. These were the people of a territory southwest of Mount Hermon on the Jordan River. The name probably has nothing to do with David’s wife from Geshur (see note on “Geshurites” earlier in this verse).

[3:14]  ³ sn Havvoth-Jair. The Hebrew name means “villages of Jair,” the latter being named after a son (i.e., descendant) of Manasseh who took the area by conquest.

[13:30]  ⁴ tn The words “their territory started at” are not in the Hebrew text, but have been supplied for clarification.

[13:30]  ⁵ sn The Hebrew name Havvoth Jair means “the tent villages of Jair.”

[10:4]  ⁶ sn The name Habboth Jair means “tent villages of Jair” in Hebrew.

[10:4]  ⁷ tn Heb “they call them Havvoth Jair to this day – which are in the land of Gilead.”

[10:1]  ⁸ tn The word “death” has been supplied in the translation for clarification.

[10:1]  ⁹ tn Heb “son.”

[10:1]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “a man of Issachar.”

[2:23]  ¹¹ tn Or “Havvoth Jair” (NIV, NRSV). Some translations do not translate the phrase (“havvoth” = “the towns of”), but treat it as part of the place name.
