Machir:

sold. (1.) Manasseh's oldest son (Jos 17:1), or probably his only son (see 1Ch 7:14,15; Num 26:29-33; Jos 13:31). His descendants are referred to under the name of Machirites, being the offspring of Gilead (Num 26:29). They settled in land taken from the Amorites (Num 32:39,40; Deu 3:15) by a special enactment (Num 36:1-3; Jos 17:3,4). He is once mentioned as the representative of the tribe of Manasseh east of Jordan (Jdg 5:14).

(2.) A descendant of the preceding, residing at Lo-debar, where he maintained Jonathan's son Mephibosheth till he was taken under the care of David (2Sa 9:4), and where he afterwards gave shelter to David himself when he was a fugitive (17:27).
