Ir was a man from the tribe of Benjamin. He was the father of Shuppim and Huppim (1 Chronicles 7:12). Ir may be identical with Iri in verse 7. In Numbers 24:19, the same Hebrew word is not used as a name. Instead, it is translated as "the city" in the King James Version and the New International Version.
