Commentators explain that this administrative district, centered in Ramoth-gilead, was not just a random territory. It encompassed lands with deep historical significance, including the 'towns of Jair' and the 'region of Argob,' which were conquered during the time of Moses and Joshua. Ramoth-gilead itself was a Levitical city and a city of refuge, showing how Solomon's civil administration respected and integrated Israel's sacred history and laws.
