To them which were in Bethel,.... One part of the spoil was sent to them; not to those in Bethel, in the tr ibe of Benjamin, but in Kirjathjearim, called Bethel, or the house of God, because the ark was there, see Sa1 7:1 ; moreover, this place was also called Baalah, which some think is referred to here, see Jos 15:9 , and to them which were in south Ramoth; a city of the tribe of Simeon, which lay within the lot of Judah; of which see Jos 19:8 , and to them which were in Jattir; a city of the tribe of Judah; see Gill on Jos 15:48 .
