3 After him rose up Jair a Gileadite, and he judged Israel .xxii. years. 4 And he had .xxx. sons, that rode upon .xxx. Colts, and they had .xxx. Cities, which are called Havoth-Jair even to this day, & are in the land of Gilead. 5 And Jair dyed, and was buried in Camon.
3 After hym rose vp Iair a Gileadite, and hee iudged Israel .xxii. yeares. 4 And he had .xxx. sonnes, that rode vpon .xxx. Coltes, and they had .xxx. Cities, whych are called Hauoth-Iair euen to thys day, & are in the land of Gilead. 5 And Iair dyed, and was buryed in Camon.
Of what tribe this Jair was, appeareth by this word Gilead which is repeated: for Manasseh had Machir to his son, who begat Gilead. And his name was commune with the mount, wherein Jacob and Laban made a league, and named the place Gilead, because there they raised up a heap of stones for a witness.1 Eusebius saith, that the back of this mount tendeth to Arabia and Phoenicia, and is joined with the hills of Libanus. And this mount hath a City of the same name. Machir conquered that City, and gave unto it a name, which was common both to his son and to the mount. Wherefore Jair was of the Tribe of Manasseh, a man having plenty of children: for he had .xxx. And no marvel, when as then they used to have many wives. His children was no Rascals or common people, yea they were horsemen: which is thus described, which rode upon .30. Ass colts. This Hebrew word Air signifieth either a Colt or an Ass,2 according to which sense are signified .xxx. Mules: or the colt of a Mare, as R. D. Kimhi expoundeth it. Neither were they only horsemen, but also rich: for they possessed .30. Cities, because every one of them was ruler of a City: wherefore their father must needs be very noble.
