2 Chronicles 11:8 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 11:8

And Gath
Which cannot be that Gath which was one of the principalities of the Philistines, but a city in the tribe of Judah; though of it we nowhere else read; unless this is the same with Moreshethgath, ( Micah 1:14 ) , which is probable, since it follows:

and Mareshah;
the birth place of Micah the prophet, ( Micah 1:1 Micah 1:15 ) ,

and Ziph;
there were two cities of this name in the tribe of Judah, ( Joshua 15:24 Joshua 15:55 ) .
