1 Chronicles 2:23

And he took Geshur, and Aram, with the towns R.V. And Geshur and Aram took the towns. Geshur was a (probably Aramaean) kingdom E. of Jordan on the N.E. border of Manasseh. Aram, commonly translated "Syria" or "the Syrians" probably here signifies the kingdom of which Damascus was the capital. The conquest of Manassite territory by the Aramaeans ("Syrians") here described probably took place before the days of Ahab, for in his reign they were already established as far south as Ramoth-gilead (1 Kings 22:3).

the towns of Jair R.V. marg., Havvoth Jair. Cp. Deuteronomy 3:14; Judges 10:4. The name perhaps means "the tent-villages of Jair," (Arab. ḥǐvâ= "a collection of tents near together").
