Joshua 12:13

The king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one;

The king of Debir, one,.... The same with Kirjathsepher, of which place, See Gill 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.
