HAVOTHJAIR - H>@ - (villages of Jair), certain villages on the east of Jordan, in Gilead or Bashan, which were taken by Jair the son of Manasseh, and called after his name. kjv@Numbers:32:41 kjv@Numbers:3:14) In the records of Manasseh in kjv@Joshua:13:30) and 1Chr 2:23 The Havoth-jair are reckoned with other districts as making up sixty "cities." Comp. (Kings:4:13) There is apparently some confusion in these different statements as to what the sixty cities really consisted of. No less doubtful is the number of the Havoth
- Jair. In ( kjv@1Chronicles:2:22) they are specified as twenty-three, but in kjv@Judges:10:4) as thirty.
