1 Chronicles 2:23-24
Geshur.Jos 13:13; 2Sa 13:38Kenath.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. Caleb-Ephratah.9,18,19; 1Sa 30:14Ashur.4:5Tekoa.2Sa 14:2; Am 1:11 Chronicles 2:45
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. Jos 15:581 Chronicles 2:49
the father of Madmannah.42Madmannah was a city situated in the southern part of Judah, and towards Gaza, according to Eusebius. Jos 15:31; Isa 10:31Madmenah. 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. Jos 15:57; 2Sa 21:6Gibeah.1 Chronicles 2:52
Haroeh. or, Reaiah.4:2As Haroeh and Reaiah have nearly the same signification, it is probable they were deemed perfectly interchangeable, and indifferently applied. half of the Manahethites. or, half of the Menuchites, or,Hatsihammenuchoth.1 Chronicles 8:29
the father.9:35,36Jehiel.Ezra 2:21-35
Beth-lehem.1Ch 2:50-52 Netophah.2Sa 23:28; 1Ch 2:54; Ne 7:26188.Jer 40:8 Anathoth.Jos 21:18; Ne 7:27; Isa 10:30; Jer 1:1; 11:21 Azmaveth.Ne 7:28Beth-azmaveth. Kirjath-arim.Jos 9:17; Ne 7:29Kirjath-jearim. Ramah.Jos 18:24,25; Ne 7:30 Michmas.1Sa 13:5,23; Isa 10:28Michmash.Ne 7:31 Ai.Ge 12:8Hai.Jos 7:2; 8:9,17; Ne 7:33133. Nebo.This Nebo was probably the Nabau which Eusebius and Jerome place eight miles south from Hebron. Nu 32:3; De 32:49; Ne 7:33; Isa 15:2; Jer 48:1,22 Magbish. i.e., congregating; crystallizing.. The children of Magbish are not named in our present copies of Nehemiah; but the Alexandrian MS. of the LXX. has the same reading as here. 30 Elam.7; Ne 7:34 Harim.10:31; Ne 7:35 Lod.1Ch 8:12; Ne 6:2; 7:37; 11:34,35Hadid. or, Harid, as it is in some copies.Hadid is probably the Adida of Josephus, and the Maccabees, (1 Mac 12:38; 13:13,) a city situated on a hill in the plain country of Judah, and the Aditha of Eusebius, which he places near Diospolis, Lydda, or Lod. Jericho.1Ki 16:34; Ne 7:36 Senaah.Ne 7:383,930.Nehemiah 7:25-38
Gibeon.Gibeon is probably a mistake for Gibbar, or the contrary; though this person may have been called by both names. Ezr 2:20Gibbar. The men.The Septuagint reads here the same as in the parallel place, [Huioi Baithalem, hekaton eikositris; huioi Atopha (Alex. Anetopha) pentekontaex;] "The children of Bethlehem, one hundred twenty and three; the children of Netophah, fifty and six." Though this reading is not found in any Hebrew MS. yet collated, it is doubtless the true one. Bethlehem.Ezr 2:21,22179. Anathoth.Ezr 2:23; Isa 10:30; Jer 1:1; 11:21 Beth-azmaveth.Ezr 2:24Azmaveth. Kirjath-jearim.Instead of Kirjath-arim, in the parallel place of Ezra, many MSS. read Kirjath-jearim, as here. Jos 9:17; 18:25; Jud 18:12; Ezr 2:25Kirjath-arim. Ramah.Jos 18:24,25; Ezr 2:26 Michmas.The variation between [Mikmâsh ,] {Michmash,} and [Mikmâc ,] {Michmas,} arises from the mutation of [Shîyn,] {sheen,} and [Äâmek,] {samech;} though several MSS. have the former reading here also. 1Sa 13:5,23; Ezr 2:27; Isa 10:28Michmash. Beth-el.Jos 8:9,17; Ezr 2:28223. Nebo.Ezr 2:29fifty and two.The Alexandrian MS. of the Septuagint adds, [Huioi Magabos hekaton pentekontaex,] "The children of Magbish an hundred fifty and six," as in Ezr 2:30. the other Elam.12; Ezr 2:31 Harim.Ezr 2:32; 10:31 Jericho.Ezr 2:34 Lod.6:2; 11:34,35; 1Ch 8:12; Ezr 2:33725.
