And Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Josabad the Gederathite,
Ismaiah the Gibeonite. It appears that not only the Cannanites who were admitted into the congregation (Joshua 9:1-27), but people of the tribe of Benjamin, were among the inhabitants of Gibeon. The mention of "the Gederathite," probably from Gaderah (Joshua 15:36), in the lowlands of Judah; of the Korhites (1 Chronicles 12:6), from Korah (1 Chronicles 2:43), and of Gedor (1 Chronicles 12:7), a town in Judah, to the southwest of Bethlehem (cf. 1 Chronicles 4:4), shows that this first list contains men of Judah as well as Benjamin (Bertheau).
