And to them which were in Aroer,.... Not Aroer in the tribe of Gad beyond Jordan, where David is never said to be, but some city of this name in the tribe of Judah; the Greek version of
Jos 15:22
, instead of Adadah, has Arouel:
and to them which were in Siphmoth; which very probably was in the tribe of Judah, though nowhere else mentioned:
and to them which were in Eshtemoa; a Levitical city given to the Levites by the children of Judah,
Jos 21:14
.
