Subjects in this Topic:
GEDOR.—A town of Judah (Jos_15:58; cf. 1Ch_4:4; 1Ch_4:18; 1Ch_12:7). It is generally identified with the modern Jedûr north of Beit-sur. 2. The district from which the Simeonites are said to have expelled the Hamite settlers (1Ch_4:39 ff.). The LXX [Note: Septuagint.] , however, reads Gerar, and this suits admirably as to direction. 3. A Benjamite, an ancestor of king Saul (1Ch_8:31; 1Ch_9:37). 4. 5. The eponym of two Judahite families (1Ch_4:4; 1Ch_4:18).
