1 Chronicles2:22

22 And Segub begat Jair, who had three and twenty cities in the land of Gilead .

Which he had, though he was of the Tribe of Iudah, as [illegible: 1 word] we see, because he married a Daughter of Manasseh, Num. [illegible: 1+ letters]6. 29. whence he is called a Son of Manasseh, Numb. 32. 41. Deut. [illegible: 1+ letters] ▪ 14. And because, being a Man of great Courage, he joyned himself [illegible: 1 word] that half Tribe in subduing Gilead, wherein he acted so Val[illegible: 1+ letters]ntly and Successfully, that he had 23 Cities or great Towns given to him to possess or dispose off: or, rather to Rule over them, [illegible: 1 word] have some Advantage from them; As a King is said to have his Kingdom, although he hath not the propriety of all the Lands and Houses in it.
