Ver. 13. The king of Geder— This is the first and only time that mention is made of a king of Geder. This city is in all probability the same as Gedera, Gederothaim, Gederoth or Geder, in the tribe of Judah, mentioned chap. Joshua 15:36; Joshua 15:41; Judges 15:58 and 2 Chronicles 28:18. We cannot tell the exact situation of it; but it seems not to have been far distant from Jamnia. Strabo calls it Godara, and places it within the territory of Joppa and Jamnia. Bochart says, that all these names carry the idea of cities inclosed with hedges. See Can. lib. 1: cap. 34.
