1 Chronicles 2:22

_AND SEGUB BEGAT JAIR, WHO HAD THREE AND TWENTY CITIES IN THE LAND OF GILEAD._ Jair, who had three and twenty cities in the land of Gilead. Since the son of Segub and the grandson of Hezron, he was of the tribe of Judah; but from his maternal descent he is called, Numbers 32:41; Deuteronomy 3:14, "the son of Manasseh."

We here enter, in fact, upon the genealogies and tables and enumeratious of collateral lines of "all Israel," to which the whole of the following seven chapters are devoted ...
