²¹ When Hezron was sixty years old, he married Gilead’s sister, the daughter of Makir. They had a son named Segub. ²² Segub was the father of Jair, who ruled twenty-three towns in the land of Gilead. ²³ (But Geshur and Aram captured the Towns of Jair^[a] and also took Kenath and its sixty surrounding villages.) All these were descendants of Makir, the father of Gilead.

¹³ Then I gave the rest of Gilead and all of Bashan—Og’s former kingdom—to the half-tribe of Manasseh. (This entire Argob region of Bashan used to be known as the land of the Rephaites. ¹⁴ Jair, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh, conquered the whole Argob region in Bashan, all the way to the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites. Jair renamed this region after himself, calling it the Towns of Jair,^[a] as it is still known today.) ¹⁵ I gave Gilead to the clan of Makir.

³⁹ Then the descendants of Makir of the tribe of Manasseh went to Gilead and conquered it, and they drove out the Amorites living there. ⁴⁰ So Moses gave Gilead to the Makirites, descendants of Manasseh, and they settled there. ⁴¹ The people of Jair, another clan of the tribe of Manasseh, captured many of the towns in Gilead and changed the name of that region to the Towns of Jair.^[a]
