Smith's Bible Dictionary [1]
Havoth-ja'ir. (Villages Of Jair). Certain villages on the east of Jordan, in Gilead or Bashan, which were taken by Jair the son of Manasseh, and called after his name. Numbers 32:41; Deuteronomy 3:14. In the records of Manasseh in Joshua 13:30 and 1 Chronicles 2:23, the Havoth-jair are reckoned with other districts as making up sixty "cities." Compare 1 Kings 4:13.
There is apparently some confusion in these different statements, as to what the sixty cities really consisted of. No less doubtful is the number of the Havoth-Jair. In 1 Chronicles 2:22, they are specified as twenty-three, but in Judges 10:4, as thirty.
