1 Chronicles 2:23

Geshur was a small district between Argob and Bashan; and Aram , commonly translated Syria, i.e. the ancient Syria, viz. the territory of Damascus. Kenath , rechristened by its subduer Nobah ( Numbers 32:42 ), and retaining this name at the time of Gideon, and Zeba and Sahnunnah subsequently vindicated the life of its old name, and regained it, replaced in the present day by Kenawat. And the towns thereof ; Hebrew literally, her daughters ; i.e. the small, subordinate groups of people ( Numbers 21:25 , "All the villages thereof," literally, daughters ) . All these belonged to the sons of Machir, the father of Gilead , might perhaps be open to the translation, "All these were the possessions of Machir, the possessor of Gilead."
