Commentary on 1 Kings 4:13

Theological / Devotional

The towns of Jair. This was a large division in Transjordan, and included much of the territory of Manasseh and Gad. Ramoth-gilead was in the territory of Gad, and was one of the cities of refuge (Deut. 4:43; Joshua 20:8 ; 21:38).

Region of Argob. A territory once belonging to the kingdom of Og, but seized by Jair (Deut. 3:4, 13, 14).

Great cities with walls. This description is similar to that in Deut. 3:4, 5.
