Which to ride on in those times was reckoned honourable, and on which judges rode in their circuit, Jud 5:10 and such might be these sons of Jair, who were appointed under him to ride about, and do justice in the several parts of the country, as Samuel's sons were judges under him, 1Sa 8:1,and they had thirty cities, which are called Havothjair unto this day, which are in the land of Gilead; or the villages of Jair.
