1 Chronicles 2:23

2:23 (Geshur and Aram captured the towns of Jair, along with Kenath and its sixty surrounding towns.) All these were descendants of Makir, the father of Gilead.

1 Chronicles 21:17

21:17 David said to God, “Was I not the one who decided to number the army? I am the one who sinned and committed this awful deed! As for these sheep – what have they done? O Lord my God, attack me and my family, but remove the plague from your people!”


tn Or “Havvoth Jair” (NIV, NRSV). Some translations do not translate the phrase (“havvoth” = “the towns of”), but treat it as part of the place name.

tn “and doing evil I did evil.” The infinitive absolute precedes the finite form of the verb for emphasis.

tn Heb “let your hand be on me and on the house of my father.”

tn Heb “but on your people not for a plague.”
