Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary
JAIR.1. A clan of Jairites lived on the east of Jordan who were called after Jair. This Jair was of the children of Manasseh (Num_32:41), andif we may assume a traditional fusiona judge (Jdg_10:3 ff.). The settlement of this clan marks a subsequent conquest to that of the west of Jordan. The gentilic Jairite is used for Ira (2Sa_20:26). 2. The father of Mordecai (Est_2:5), 3. The father of Elhanan. See Elhanan, Jaare-Oregim).

("splendid, shining") (See ARGOB; BASHAN HAVOTH JAIR.)
1. On his father's side, of Judah; on his mother's side, of Manasseh. Son of Segub, who was son of Hezron by his third wife, daughter and heiress in part of Machir (father of Gilead) of Manasseh (1Ch 2:21-22-23; Deu_3:14-15). His designation from his mother, not his father, was probably owing to his settling in Manasseh E. of Jordan. His brilliant exploit was, he took Argob or Trachonitis, the Lejah, and called from his own name certain villages or groups of tents ("kraals"), 23 originally, Havoth Jair (Num_32:41), afterward increased to 30 (Jdg_10:4).
2. The Gileadite judge. His 30 sons rode 30 asses, and had 30 cities, the number to which the original Havoth Jair had grown.
3. A Benjamite, son of Kish, father of Mordecai (Est_2:5).
4. A different Hebrew name, though in English Jair, or Jeer (Hebrew text or kethib). Father of Elhanan, one of David's heroes who slew Lahmi, Goliath's brother (1Ch_20:5).

Ja'ir. (enlightener).
1. A man who, on his father's side, was descended from Judah, and on his mother's, from Manasseh. (B.C. 1451). During the conquest, he took the whole of the tract of Argob, Deu_3:14, and in addition, possessed himself of some nomad villages in Gilead, which he called after his own name, Havoth-Jair. Num_32:41; 1Ch_2:23.
2. Jair, the Gileadite, who judged Israel for two-and-twenty years. Jdg_10:3-5. (B.C. 1160). He had thirty sons, and possessed thirty cities in the land of Gilead, which, like those of their namesakes, were called Havoth-jair.
3. A Benjamite, son of Kish, and father of Mordecai. Est_2:5. (B.C. Before 598).
4. The father of Elhanan, one of the heroes of David's army. 1Ch_20:6.

of the family of Manasseh. He possessed a large canton beyond Jordan; the whole country of Argob, as far as the borders of Geshur and Maachathi, Jdg_10:3. He succeeded Tola in the judicature or government of the Israelites, and was himself succeeded by Jephthah. His government continued twenty-two years; from A.M. 2795 to 2817. Jair had thirty sons, who rode on asses, and were lords or governors of thirty towns, called Havoth-jair. He was buried at Camon beyond Jordan.

(1) Jair (יאיר, yā'ı̄r, ?he enlightens? or ?one giving light?):
(a) Son, i.e. descendant of Manasseh (Num_32:41; Deu_3:14; Jos_13:30; 1Ki_4:13 :1 1Ki_2:22 f). According to 1Ch_2:21 f he was the son of Segub, son of Hezron, a descendant of Judah, who married the daughter of Machir, son of Manasseh. He was thus descended both from Judah and Manasseh. At the time of the conquest he distinguished himself by taking the tent-villages HAVVOTH-JAIR (which see). The accounts of his exploit are difficult to harmonize (see ICC on above passages). Some would identify him with the Jair of Jdg_10:3, holding that Manasseh's settlement in Northern Gilead and Bashan took place, not before Israel's passage of the Jordan, but after the settlement of the tribe on the West. For a criticism of this view see HGHL, 577, note
(b) One of the judges. He is said to have had 30 sons, who rode on 30 ass colts, and who had as many cities, known as Havvoth-jair (Jdg_10:3, Jdg_10:4). One tradition identifies (a) and (b). Others reconcile the two narratives by interpreting the word ?son? in a non-literal sense.
(c) The father of Mordecai (Est_2:5). In the Apocrypha (Additions to Esther 11:2) his name is given as ?Jairus? (Ἰάειρος, Iáeiros).
(2) Jair (Ḳerē: יעיר, yā‛ı̄r, ?he arouses?; Kethı̄bh: יעוּר, yā‛ūr; a different name from (1) above): The father of Elhanan, the giant-slayer (1Ch_20:5). In the parallel passage (2Sa_21:19) his name is given as ?Jaare-oregim,? but the text should be corrected to Jair, ?oregim? ('ōreghı̄m) having crept in from the line below through a copyist's error.

Jair, 1
Ja?ir (enlightener), son of Segub, of the tribe of Manasseh by his mother, and of Judah by his father. He appears to have distinguished himself in an expedition against the kingdom of Bashan, the time of which is disputed, but may probably be referred to the last year of the life of Moses, B.C. 1451. It seems to have formed part of the operations connected with the conquest of the country east of the Jordan. He settled in the part of Argob bordering on Gilead, where we find twenty-three villages named collectively Havoth-jair, or 'Jair's villages' (Num_32:41; Deu_3:14; Jos_13:30; 1Ch_2:22).
Jair, 2
Jair, eighth judge of Israel, of Gilead, in Manasseh, beyond the Jordan; and, therefore, probably descended from the preceding, with whom, indeed, he is sometimes confounded. He ruled twenty-two years, and his opulence is indicated in a manner characteristic of the age in which he lived. 'He had thirty sons, that rode on thirty ass-colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havoth-jair, in the land of Gilead.' The twenty-three villages of the more ancient Jair were probably among the thirty which this Jair possessed (Jdg_10:3). B.C. 1210.
