1 Chronicles 4:39 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 4:39

And they went to the entrance of Gedor
There was a city of this name in the tribe of Judah, ( 1 Chronicles 4:18 ) but this seems to be further off, and perhaps is the same with Gedaris, mentioned by Strabo

FOOTNOTES:

F12 along with Azotus and Askelon, cities that belonged to the Philistines; since it was inhabited by the posterity of Ham, of whom the Philistines were, as in the following verse:

even unto the east side of the valley;
which was near to Gedor, and a suitable place:

to seek pasture for their flocks;
their sheep and goats.

F12 Geograph. l. 16. p. 522.

1 Chronicles 4:39 In-Context

37 Ziza quoque filius Sephei filii Allon filii Idaia filii Semri filii Samaia

38 isti sunt nominati principes in cognationibus suis et in domo adfinitatum suarum multiplicati sunt vehementer

39 et profecti sunt ut ingrederentur in Gador usque ad orientem vallis et ut quaererent pascua gregibus suis

40 inveneruntque pascuas uberes et valde bonas et terram latissimam et quietam et fertilem in qua ante habitaverunt de stirpe Ham

41 hii ergo venerunt quos supra descripsimus nominatim in diebus Ezechiae regis Iuda et percusserunt tabernacula eorum et habitatores qui inventi fuerant ibi et deleverunt eos usque in praesentem diem habitaveruntque pro eis quoniam uberrimas ibidem pascuas reppererunt
