Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Judges 10:4

_ _ he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts — This is a characteristic trait of Eastern manners in those early times; and the grant of a village to each of his thirty sons was a striking proof of his extensive possessions. His having thirty sons is no conclusive evidence that he had more than one wife, much less that he had more than one at a time. There are instances, in this country, of men having as many children by two successive wives.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Judges 10:1-5.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Judges 10:4

And he had thirty sons — They were itinerant judges, who rode from place to place, as their father's deputies to administer justice. Havoth — jair — These villages were called so before this time from another Jair, but the old name was revived and confirmed upon this occasion.
