2 Chronicles 11:10 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 11:10

And Zorah
The same with Zoreah, ( Joshua 15:33 ) ,

and Aijalon;
there was a city of the tribe of Dan of this name, in the valley of which the moon stood still in the times of Joshua, ( Joshua 10:12 ) ( 19:42 ) , but whether the same with this, and now belonging to Judah, or another of the same name, is not certain:

and Hebron;
a city in the mountainous part of Judah, and a city of refuge, about twenty miles from Jerusalem, ( Joshua 15:54 ) ( 20:7 ) ,

which are in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities;
as they were now made by Rehoboam.
