Joshua 12:13 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 12:13

The king of Debir, one
The same with Kirjathsepher, of which place, (See Gill on Joshua 10:38);

the king of Geder, one:
Jerom F8 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 ) .
