He distinguished himself in an expedition against Bashan, and settled in the part of Argob on the borders of Gilead. The small towns taken by him there are called Havoth-jair, i.e., "Jair's villages" (Num 32:41; Deu 3:14; Jos 13:30).
(2.) The eighth judge of Israel, which he ruled for twenty-two years. His opulence is described in Jdg 10:3-5. He had thirty sons, each riding on "ass colts." They had possession of thirty of the sixty cities (1Ki 4:13; 1Ch 2:23) which formed the ancient Havoth-jair.
(3.) A Benjamite, the father of Mordecai, Esther's uncle (Est 2:5).
