<p> <strong> JAZER </strong> . An [[Amorite]] town N. of Heshbon, taken by [[Israel]] ( Numbers 21:32 ), allotted to [[Gad]] ( Joshua 13:25 etc.), and fortified by it ( Numbers 32:35 ). It lay in a district rich in vines ( Isaiah 16:8 etc., Jeremiah 48:32 ). It is probably represented by <em> Khirbet Sâr </em> , about 7 miles W. of <em> ‘Ammân </em> , a mile E. of <em> Wâdy Sîr </em> . [[Judas]] Maccabæus took the city, which was then in the hands of the [[Ammonites]] ( 1Ma 5:9; Jos. [Note: Josephus.] <em> Ant. </em> XII. viii. 1). </p> <p> W.

This was a city of the [[Amorites]] east of the [[Jordan]] taken, along with its towns, by Moses, and occupied by the tribe of Gad (Numbers 21:32; Numbers 32:35 ). The country was very fertile, and its spacious pasture-lands attracted the flock-masters of Gad (Numbers 32:1 ), the southern border of whose territory it marked (Joshua 13:25 ). It was assigned to the [[Merarite]] [[Levites]] (Joshua 21:39; 1 Chronicles 6:81 ). The place was reached by [[Joab]] when taking the census (2 Samuel 24:5 ). In the 40th year of King David mighty men of valor were found here to whom he entrusted the oversight in [[Reuben]] and Gad "for every matter pertaining to God, and run the affairs of the king" (1 Chronicles 26:32 f).
