1 Chronicles 4:39
"And they went to the entrance of Gedor, even unto the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And they went to the entrance of Gedor,.... There was a city of this name in the tribe of Judah, Ch1 4:18 but this seems to be further off, and

perhaps is the same with Gedaris, mentioned by Strabo (l) along with Azotus and Askelon, cities that belonged to the Philistines; since it was inhabited by the posterity of Ham, of whom the Philistines were, as in the following verse: even unto the east side of the valley; which was near to Gedor, and a suitable place: to seek pasture for their flocks; their sheep and goats. (l) Geograph. l. 16. p. 522.
