⁴¹ And Jair, the son of Manasseh, went and took the towns of Gilead, naming them Havvoth-Jair.

³⁷ So Absalom went in flight and came to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur, where he was for three years.

²¹ And after that, Hezron had connection with the daughter of Machir, the father of Gilead, whom he took as his wife when he was sixty years old; and she had Segub by him.

²² And Segub was the father of Jair, who had twenty-three towns in the land of Gilead.

²³ And Geshur and Aram took the tent-towns of Jair from them, with Kenath and the small places round it, even sixty towns. All these were the sons of Machir, the father of Gilead.
