SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:4
Este tuvo treinta hijos que cabalgaban sobre treinta asnos, y tenían treinta villas, que se llamaron las villas de Jair hasta hoy, las cuales están en la tierra de Galaad.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 10:4
Verse 4. He had thirty sons, &c.] It appears that there was both peace and prosperity during the time that Jair governed Israel; he had, it seems, provided for his family, and given a village to each of his thirty sons; which were, in consequence, called Havoth Jair or the villages of Jair. Their riding on thirty ass colts seems to intimate that they were persons of consideration, and kept up a certain dignity in their different departments.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 4. And he had thirty sons that rode upon thirty ass colts , etc.] Which to ride on in those times was reckoned honourable, and on which judges rode in their circuit, ( Judges 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, ( <090801> Samuel 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. There were some of this name that belonged to Jair, a son of Manasseh, in the times of Moses, ( Numbers 32:41) and these may be the same, at least some of them; for they were but twenty three he had, whereas these were thirty, ( Chronicles 2:22) and these coming by inheritance to this Jair, a descendant of the former, and he being of the same name, and these cities perhaps repaired and enlarged by him, the name of them was continued and established, for it is not reasonable to suppose, as some have done, that this is the same Jair that lived in the times of Moses, who, if so, must have lived more than three hundred years, an age men did not live to in those times.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-5 - Quiet and peaceable reigns, though the best to live in, yield leas variety of matter to be spoken of. Such were the days of Tola and Jair They were humble, active, and useful men, rulers appointed of God.
