And Jokim, and the men of Chozeba, and Joash, and Saraph, who had the dominion in Moab, and Jashubilehem. And these are ancient things.
Had the dominion in Moab, х baa`aluw (H1166) lª-Mow'aab (H4124), had possessions in Moab].
And these are ancient things. This is a literal translation; but it seems a strange rendering, and besides, conveys a meaning that has no bearing on the record.

These and the inhabitants of Netaim and Gedera were potters, employed by the king (of Moab) in his own work.' Gedera, or Gederoth, and Netaim belonged to the tribe of Judah, and lay on the southeast border of the Philistines' territory (Joshua 15:36; 2 Chronicles 28:18).
