Ira the Jairite served as a priest under King David, according to2 Samuel 20:26. He is listed among David's officials at the end of a narrative describing the quelling of a rebellion against David. As a Jairite, Ira likely descended from Jair, who was from the tribe of Manasseh (Numbers 32:41, Deut3.14). The text provides no further details about Ira's specific duties or tenure as a priest under David's reign.
