1 Chronicles 2:23
"And he took Geshur, and Aram, with the towns of Jair, from them, with Kenath, and the towns thereof, even threescore cities. All these belonged to the sons of Machir the father of Gilead."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And he took Geshur, and Aram, with the towns of Jair, from them,.... Cities or countries which the Geshurites and Aramaeans, or Syrians, before inhabited; and which he took from

them, together with other towns, which, being taken by him, were called after his name; the Targum is, the Geshurites and Aramaeans took the villages of Jair from them; that is, from the sons of Jair in later times; see Jos 12:5 . with Kenath, and the towns thereof; which Jair took by Nobah his general, and called it after his name, Num 32:42 , even sixty cities; see Deu 3:4 . all these belonged to the sons of Machir the father of Gilead: being given him by Moses, Num 32:40 .
