When all the residents of Jabesh Gilead heard about everything the Philistines had done to Saul,

Segub was the father of Jair, who owned twenty-three cities in the land of Gilead.

They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its surrounding settlements, and in the pasturelands of Sharon to their very borders. ¹ 

Within the territory of the tribe of Gad: Ramoth in Gilead and its pasturelands, Mahanaim and its pasturelands,

The son ¹  of Ulam: Bedan. These were the sons of Gilead, son of Makir, son of Manasseh.

Iddo son of Zechariah led the half-tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Jaasiel son of Abner led Benjamin,

The sons of Manasseh: Asriel, who was born to Manasseh’s Aramean concubine. ¹  She also gave birth to Makir the father of Gilead.

(Geshur and Aram captured the towns of Jair, ¹  along with Kenath and its sixty surrounding towns.) All these were descendants of Makir, the father of Gilead.

During the time of Saul they attacked the Hagrites and defeated them. They took over their territory in the entire eastern region of Gilead. ¹ 

Later ¹  Hezron had sexual relations with ²  the daughter of Makir, the father of Gilead. (He had married ³  her when he was sixty years old.) She bore him Segub.

These were the sons of Abihail son of Huri, son of Jaroah, son of Gilead, son of Michael, son of Jeshishai, son of Jahdo, son of Buz.

In the east they settled as far as the entrance to the desert that stretches to the Euphrates River, for their cattle had increased in numbers in the land of Gilead.

As for the Hebronites: Jeriah was the leader of the Hebronites according to the genealogical records. In the fortieth year of David’s reign, they examined the records and discovered ¹  there were highly respected men in Jazer in Gilead.

Now Makir married a wife from the Huppites and Shuppites. ¹  (His sister’s name was Maacah.) Zelophehad was Manasseh’s second son; ²  he had only daughters.

Maacah, Makir’s wife, gave birth to a son, whom she named Peresh. His brother was Sheresh, and his sons were Ulam and Rekem.
