Melachim Alef 4:10 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 4:10

The son of Hesed in Aruboth
Which seems to have been in the tribe of Judah by the places that follow: to him [pertained] Sochoh;
there were two places of this name in that tribe, ( Joshua 15:35 Joshua 15:48 ) ; and all the land of Hepher:
there was an Hepher in the land of Canaan, which was a royal city in the times of the Canaanites, ( Joshua 12:17 ) ; and there was an Hepher, the name of a man, a descendant of Judah, to whom, very probably, this land belonged, ( 1 Chronicles 4:6 ) ; unless it can be thought to be the portion of land given to the daughters of Hepher, ( Joshua 17:3 ) .
