Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Chronicles 2:23

_ _ he took — rather “he had taken.” This statement is accounting for his acquisition of so large a territory; he got it by right of conquest from the former possessors.

_ _ Kenath — This place, along with its group of surrounding villages, was gained by Nobah, one of Jair’s officers sent by him to capture it (Numbers 32:1, Numbers 32:2).

_ _ All these belonged to the sons of Machir — In their number Jair is included as having completely identified himself by his marriage and residence in Gilead with the tribe of Manasseh.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Chronicles 2:18-55.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Chronicles 2:23

Sons of Machir — Partly to his own sons, and partly to his son — in — law Jair, who by reason of that dear affection which was betwixt them, and his forsaking his own tribe and kindred to fight for them and to dwell with them, is here reckoned as his own son.
