Jair

³ He was followed by Jair^(A) of Gilead, who led Israel twenty-two years.

⁴ He had thirty sons, who rode thirty donkeys.^(A) They controlled thirty towns in Gilead, which to this day are called Havvoth Jair.^[a](B)

² The king asked Ziba, “Why have you brought these?”

Ziba answered, “The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on, the bread and fruit are for the men to eat, and the wine is to refresh^(A) those who become exhausted in the wilderness.”
