| Judges 10:2
| And he judged Israel three and twenty years, and he died, *and was buried in Samir.
| Year of the World 2816. Years. S. Severus says 22, making the reign of Jair of equal length. Cum aeque viginti et duos annos principatum obtinuisset. But this is contrary to all the best chronologers. The fidelity of the Israelites seems to have been of no longer continuance at this period than usual, as we find that they relapsed into idolatry again, at least after the death of Jair, within 45 years after they had been scourged by the tyrant Abimelech, ver. 6.
