Zimri.Zabdi, \^ydbz\^ is apparently here called Zimri, \^yrmz\^ in consequence of a \^b\^, "baith", being mistaken for a \^m\^, "mem", and a \^d\^, "daleth", for a \^r\^, "raish",

Jether.Jether, [Yether ,] is essentially the same with [Yithrâ ,] Ithra, the latter only having the addition of an ['Aleph] {aleph;} and it is probable, that he was an Ishmaelite by birth but an Israelite by religion.

2Sa 17:25

Ithra an Israelite.

A.M. 2534, etc. B.C. 1470, etc. Caleb.Caleb, [Kâlêb, ,] is the same as Chelubai, [Kelûwbay ,]; the latter simply having a [Vâv,] {wav} inserted, and a [Yôde,] {yood} affixed. This person must have lived some time before Israel left Egypt; for Bezaleel, the principal person employed in constructing the tabernacle, was his grandson.

Kenath.Kenath was situated in the tribe of Manasseh, east of Jordan. Eusebius says it was called in his time [Kanatha,] Kanatha; and was a town in the Trachonitis, near Bozra. Josephus places it in Coelo-syria; and Pliny reckons it among the cities of the Decapolis. It was also called Nobah, after Nobah an Israelite, who conquered it, (Nu 32:42;) which is placed by Eusebius, eight miles south of Heshbon: See Note on Jud 8:11.

the children of Sheshan.

34,35

Sheshan.When the people of the East have no sons, they frequently marry their daughters to their slaves, even when they have much property to bestow upon them. Hassan had been the slave of Kamel, his predecessor; but Kamel, according to the custom of the country, gave him one of his daughters in marriage, and left him at his death one part of his great riches which he had amassed in the course of a long and prosperous life (Maillet, Lett. xi. p. 118).

Zabad.

Beth-zur.Beth-zur was situated in the tribe of Judah, twenty miles south from Jerusalem, towards Hebron, according to Eusebius. It was fortified by Rehoboam, (2 Ch 11:7) and was a fortress of great consequence, principally in the time of the Maccabees. 1 Mac 4:28; 6:7, etc.

42Madmannah was a city situated in the southern part of Judah, and towards Gaza, according to Eusebius.

Jos 15:31; Isa 10:31

Madmenah. Gibea.It is probable this was not Gibeah of Benjamin, and the royal residence of Saul, but Gibeah in the tribe of Judah, to which all these other cities belonged.
