(jay' uh rih-awr' ih gihm) Personal namemeaning, “forests of the weavers.” Father of Elhanan from Bethlehem, who killed Goliath. See Elhanan. Many modern Bible scholars follow early Greek translations and 1 Chronicles 20:5 and omit Oregim (REB). Others interpret Oregim as a common noun, identifying Jair as a weaver (NIV translation note). This is partly based on 2 Samuel 23:24 , where an Elhanan of Bethlehem is identified as the son of Dodo. Jaare may be an abbreviated form of Kiriath-jearim. See Kiriath-jearim .
