Joshua 12:13

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

Read in KJV Bible Reader

The king of Debir, one,.... The same with Kirjathsepher, of which place, [See comments on Joshua 10:38];

the king of Geder, one: Jerom (h) seems to confound this with the tower of Eder, beyond which Jacob pitched his tent, Genesis 35:21; and he speaks of a Gaddera in the tribe of Judah, in his time a village belonging to the country about Aelia or Jerusalem, and of Gahedur in the tribe of Judah, a large village, ten miles from Diospolis or Lydda, as you go to Eleutheropolis: it seems to be the same with Gederah, Joshua 15:36, or Gedor, Joshua 15:58.

(h) De loc. Heb. fol. 92. A. B.
