Bethel... South Ramoth... Yattir. — Here follows an enumeration of the cities of Judah to whom David sent, most of which have been identified. Bethel — evidently not the well known place of that name, but Bethuel or Bethul in the tribe of Simeon. The LXX. read here Baithsour. South Ramoth, i.e., Ramah of the South. Shimei, who was over David’s vineyards, was most likely a native of this town (1 Chronicles 27:27). The place has not been identified. Yattir — the present Attir in the southern part of Judah. Its ruins are still visible.
