Bible Verse Review

Geshur: Joshua 13:13, 2 Samuel 13:38

Kenath: Kenath was situated in the tribe of Manasseh, east of Jordan. Eusebius says it was called in his time בםבטב, Kanatha; and was a town in the Trachonitis, near Bozra. Josephus places it in Coelo-syria; and Pliny reckons it among the cities of the Decapolis. It was also called Nobah, after Nobah an Israelite, who conquered it (Numbers 32:42), which is placed by Eusebius, eight miles south of Heshbon. see note on Judges 8:11.

Reciprocal: Joshua 13:11 - General Joshua 17:1 - Machir 1 Samuel 27:8 - the Geshurites 1 Chronicles 2:42 - the father of Hebron 1 Chronicles 3:2 - Geshur 1 Chronicles 9:35 - the father

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he took Geshur, and Aram, with the towns of Jair, from them,.... Cities or countries which the Geshurites and Aramaeans, or Syrians, before inhabited; and which he took from them, together with other towns, which, being taken by him, were called after his name; the Targum is, the Geshurites and Aramaeans took the villages of Jair from them; that is, from the sons of Jair in later times; see

Joshua 12:5

with Kenath, and the towns thereof; which Jair took by Nobah his general, and called it after his name, Numbers 32:42, even sixty cities; see Deuteronomy 3:4

all these belonged to the sons of Machir the father of Gilead: being given him by Moses, Numbers 32:40.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Rather, “And Geshur and Aram (i. e. the Geshurites Deuteronomy 3:14 and Syrians) took the villages of Jair from them:” recovered, that is, from the new settlers the places which Jair had conquered.

All these belonged to the sons of Machir - Rather, “All these were sons of Machir,” i. e. Segub and Jair, with their descendants, were reckoned sons of Machir, rather than sons of Hezron, although only descended from Machir on the mother’s side. The reason of this seems to have been that they cast in their lot with the Manassites, and remained in their portion of the trans-Jordanic region.
