Havoth-Jair (hâ'voth-jâ'ir), villages of Jair. A title applied to certain villages east of the Jordan which Jair captured and held. Numbers 32:41; Judges 10:4. The towns of Jair are included with the 60 cities given to Manasseh, Joshua 13:30; 1 Chronicles 2:23; but the word rendered "villages"usually means a small collection of hovels in a country place. These towns were a part of one of the revenue districts of Solomon. 1 Kings 4:13.
