From ch. 10:19, it appears to have been situated in the angle where the south and west sides of Canaan met, and to have been not far from Gaza. Jerome, in his Hebrew Traditions on Genesis, says, from Gerar to Jerusalem was three days' journey. There was a wood near Gerar, spoken of by Theodoret; and a brook, (ch. 26:26,) on which was a monastery, noticed by Sozomen. 10:19; 26:1,6,20,26; 2Ch 14:13,14Genesis 21:33

Whither, etc. or, Did you not make a road. And David.21:2; Ge 27:19,20,24; Jos 2:4-6; 2Sa 17:20; Ps 119:29,163Pr 29:25; Ga 2:11-13; Eph 4:25Against.David here meant the Geshurites, and Gezrites, and Amalekites, which people occupied that part of the country which lies to the south of Judah. But Achish, as was intended, understood him in a different sense, and believed that he had attacked his own countrymen. David's answer, therefore, though not an absolute falsehood, was certainly an equivocation intended to deceive, and therefore incompatible with that sense of truth and honour which became him as a prince, and a professor of true religion. From these, and similar passages, we may observe the strict impartiality of the Sacred Scriptures. They present us with the most faithful delineation of human nature; they exhibit the frailties of kings, priests, and prophets, with equal truth; and examples of vice and frailty, as well as of piety and virtue, are held up, that we may guard against the errors to which the best men are exposed. the Jerahmeelites.1Ch 2:9,25Kenites.15:6; Nu 24:21; Jud 1:16; 4:11; 5:242 Samuel 24:7
