And Jair died and was buried in Qamon. [Location in Gilead not yet identified; the name means "upright."] [The main content of the Book of Judges revolves around seven stories that follow the pattern of apostasy, oppression, prayer, and finally deliverance. However, the pattern is interrupted three times by a brief description of six other men who were leaders in Israel. The first was Shamgar, who was described in one verse (Judges 3:31). The remaining five (Tola, Jair, Ibzan, Elon, and Abdon) are mentioned in two groups that frame the story of the sixth judge, Jephthah (Judges 10:6–12:7). The first two (Tola and Jair) are mentioned in verses 1-5 and the last three (Ish-bosheth, Elon, and Abdon) in Judges 12:8-15. This literary construction, with the framing of five "minor judges," reinforces the story of Jephthah. The name Tola means scarlet (he was probably very reddish when he was born and was given that name), but the word can also mean insignificant, like a worm, see Ps. 22:7. Together with the brief description in one line, his insignificance is reinforced. Jephthah is then framed by Jair and Ivtsan, who both had 30 sons (Judges 10:4; 12:9). This is in stark contrast to Jephthah, who had only one daughter, see Judges 11:34.]
