Father of Mordecai, named in the genealogy-like identification of a Jewish man in Susa the citadel.
Jair son of Shimei is the father of Mordecai son of Jair, named when Esther identifies a Jewish man in Susa the citadel. The verse traces Mordecai as “son of Jair son of Shimei son of Kish” and calls Mordecai a Benjaminite; it does not separately describe Jair’s actions. Jair son of Shimei is named in at least one verse, all in Esther: Esther 2:5.
