Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he judged Israel twenty three years, and died,.... He did not take upon him to be king, as Abimelech did, but acted as a judge, in which office he continued twenty three years, and faithfully discharged it, and died in honour:

and was buried in Shamir; the place where he executed his office. It is said t, that in the first year of Tola, the son of Puah, Priamus reigned in Troy.

t Juchasin, fol. 136. 1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Jair the Gileadite was probably the same person as is named in Numbers 32:41; Deuteronomy 3:14, as having given the name of “Havoth-jair” to certain villages in Bashan.
