Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament (1765)

Of Jair - Who, though of the tribe of Judah, by the father, 1 Chron. ii, 21, 22, yet is called the son of Manasseh, Num. xxxii, 41, because he married a daughter of Manasseh, and wholly associated himself with those valiant Manassites; and with their help took sixty cities or great towns, Deut. iii, 4, 14, which thence were called the towns of Jair.

This site's exposition

unto the tribe of Gad

on Joshua 13:24-31

Gad inherits Jacob's ground. Mahanaim at verse 26 is where Jacob met the angels of God at Genesis 32:1-2, and Succoth at verse 27 is where he built booths for his cattle at Genesis 33:17. Adam Clarke identifies the Ramath-mizpeh of verse 26 with Ramoth-gilead, which becomes a city of refuge at Joshua 20:8 and the field where Ahab dies in 1 Kings 22. Manasseh receives the threescore towns of Jair, taken and named by Jair at Numbers 32:41, and a later Jair judges Israel at Judges 10:3-4 with thirty sons in thirty cities that were still called Havoth-jair when that verse was written.
