half part of Bethzur.
] A strong fortified place in the tribe of Judah, ( Joshua 15:58 ) ,

unto the place over against the sepulchres of David;
where he and his family, and the kings of his race, were buried, which remained to this time untouched by the Babylonians, and to many ages after; see ( Acts 2:29 )

where was a garrison of soldiers in former time for defence.
