As for the Hebronites, Jerijah was the chief of the Hebronites, according to the genealogies of his ancestors. In the fortieth year of David’s reign the records were searched, and strong, capable men were found among the Hebronites at Jazer in Gilead.

For the fields of Heshbon have withered,along with the grapevines of Sibmah.The rulers of the nationshave trampled its choicest vines,which had reached as far as Jazerand spread toward the desert.Their shoots had spread outand passed over the sea.

I will weep for you, O vine of Sibmah,more than I weep for Jazer.Your tendrils have extended to the sea;they reach even to Jazer.The destroyer has descendedon your summer fruit and grape harvest.

Heshbon, and Jazer—four cities in all, together with their pasturelands.

Now the Reubenites and Gadites, who had very large herds and flocks, surveyed the lands of Jazer and Gilead, and they saw that the region was suitable for livestock.
