Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, took over the entire region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites. He called Bashan by his own name, Jair's Villages, as it is today.

Moses the Lord's servant and the Israelites struck them down. And Moses the Lord's servant gave their land as an inheritance to the Reubenites, Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh.

This is the land that remains: All the districts of the Philistines and the Geshurites:

also Gilead and the territory of the Geshurites and Maacathites, all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah-

but the Israelites did not drive out the Geshurites and Maacathites. So Geshur and Maacath live in Israel to this day.

David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites. From ancient times they had been the inhabitants of the region through Shur as far as the land of Egypt.

his second was Chileab, by Abigail, the widow of Nabal the Carmelite; the third was Absalom, son of Maacah the daughter of King Talmai of Geshur;

Now Absalom fled and went to Talmai son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.

For your servant made a vow when I lived in Geshur of Aram, saying: If the Lord really brings me back to Jerusalem, I will worship the Lord in Hebron."

But Geshur and Aram captured Jair's Villages along with Kenath and its villages-60 towns. All these were the sons of Machir father of Gilead.
