1 Samuel 30:27

To [them] which [were] in Bethel
One part of the spoil was sent to them; not to those in Bethel, in the tribe of Benjamin, but in Kirjathjearim, called Bethel, or the house of God, because the ark was there, see ( 1 Samuel 7:1 ) ( 10:3 ) ; moreover, this place was also called Baalah, which some think is referred to here, see ( Joshua 15:9 ) ;

and to [them] which [were] in south Ramoth;
a city of the tribe of Simeon, which lay within the lot of Judah; of which see ( Joshua 19:8 ) ;

and to [them] which [were] in Jattir;
a city of the tribe of Judah, (See Gill on Joshua 15:48).
