Dictionary Summary: Full of stalks, a place ([Judg. 10:5](/judg#Judg.10.5)) where Jair was buried. It has usually been supposed to have been a city of Gilead, on the east of Jordan. It is probably, however, the modern Tell-el-Kaimun, on the southern slopes of Carmel, the Jokneam of Carmel ([Josh. 12:22](/josh#Josh.12.22); [1 Kings 4:12](/1kgs#1Kgs.4.12)), since it is not at all unlikely that after he became judge, Jair might find it more convenient to live on the west side of Jordan; and that he was buried where he had lived. ²
