This signifies “towns of Jair.” They were in “the country of Argob unto the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi”; and were also called Bashan-havoth-jair (Deut. 3:14). They were small towns of Gilead (Num. 32:41). The same are called “towns of Jair” in Joshua 13:30; 1 Kings 4:13 and 1 Chron. 2:23. The name occurs again in Judges 10:4. See JAIR.
