Quick answer
Jair dies and is buried in Kamon. His judgeship closes the brief account of the minor judges before Jephthah.
Overview
The simple notice of Jair's death and burial ends a peaceful interlude. With his passing, the narrative turns again to Israel's spiral into sin and oppression. The transition reminds readers that human leaders pass away, but Israel's deepest need is a deliverer who endures, ultimately found in Christ.
