Where Jair appears in Scripture

1 Chronicles 20

וַתְּהִי-עוֹד מִלְחָמָה אֶת-פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַיַּךְ אֶלְחָנָן בֶּן-‫(יעור)‬ יָעִיר אֶת-לַחְמִי אֲחִי גָּלְיָת הַגִּתִּי וְעֵץ חֲנִיתוֹ כִּמְנוֹר אֹֽרְגִֽים׃
5
And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver's beam.
