James Hastings Dictionary of the Bible: Geder


Subjects in this Topic:

GEDER.—An unidentified Canaanitish town, whose king was amongst those conquered by Joshua (Jos_12:13 only). It is very probably identical with Beth-gader of 1Ch_2:51. In 1Ch_27:28 Baal-hanan, who had charge of David’s olives and sycomores, is called the Gederite, which may be a gentilic name derived from Geder, although some prefer to derive it from Gederah (wh. see).
