Jair » Son of manasseh. Founder of twenty-three cities in gilead
Bengeber: the city of Ramoth in Gilead, and the villages in Gilead belonging to the clan of Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, and the region of Argob in Bashan, sixty large towns in all, fortified with walls and with bronze bars on the gates.
Jair, from the tribe of Manasseh, took the entire region of Argob, that is, Bashan, as far as the border of Geshur and Maacah. He named the villages after himself, and they are still known as the villages of Jair.
Then Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, captured the settlements in Gilead. He called them Havvoth Jair.
Their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities:
Segub was the father of Jair, who controlled twenty-three towns in Gilead. But Geshur and Aram captured Havvoth Jair, as well as Kenath with its surrounding settlements sixty towns. All these were descendants of Makir the father of Gilead.
