Each of these officials was responsible for providing provisions for the king and his household for one month of the year. Ben-Geber was in charge of the region of Ramoth Gilead, which included the towns of Jair, the son of Manasseh, in Gilead, and the region of Argob in Bashan, which was known for its sixty great cities with walls and bronze bars.
