And that yeer] That is, (as some think) wherein they fell from the true worship of God, to this grosse idolatry, they vexed them, and so from that time, to the end of eighteen yeers. Others reckon these eighteen yeers from the death of Jair. Others read it thus, They vexed them that yeer, that is, the eighteenth, or the last yeer of the eighteen. in Gilead] See vers. 3.
