Numbers 32:39-42 ▼

39 The descendants of Manasseh's son Machir attacked Gilead and then captured and dispossessed the Amorites who were there.

40 That's why Moses gave Gilead to Manasseh's son Machir, who lived there at the time.

41 Manasseh's son Jair captured their towns and renamed them Havvoth-jair.

42 Nobah captured Kenath and its towns and renamed it Nobah after himself.
