What is Havoth-jair?
HA'VOTH-JA'IR
(villages of Jair), a title applied to certain villages east of the Jordan which Jair captured and held. Num 32:41; Jud 10:4. The towns of Jair are included with the 60 cities given to Manasseh, Josh 13:30; 1 Chr 2:23; but the word rendered "villages" usually means a small collection of hovels in a country place. These towns were a part of one of the revenue-districts of Solomon, 1 Kgs 4:13.
