Commentary

And Chepharhaammonai, and Ophni,.... Of the two first of these no mention is made elsewhere: and Gaba is the same with Gibeah, a well known place, because of the foul fact committed there, which had like to have been the ruin of this tribe, Jdg 19:14 ; and for being the native place of King Saul, hence called "Gibeah of Saul", Sa1 11:4 ; it was about six or seven miles from Jerusalem; see Gill on Hos 5:8 ; twelve cities with their villages; which agrees with the account of them.
