"And Gederoth, Bethdagon, and Naamah, and Makkedah; sixteen cities with their villages:"
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And Gederoth,.... Gederoth is reckoned among the cities of the low country, and south of Judah, Ch2 28:18 , and Bethdagon; in it very probably was a temple of Dagon,
which was a principal deity of the Philistines, Sa1 5:2 ; Jerom says (x) in his time was shown a large village called Capherdagon, between Diospolis and Jamnia; of Naamah, the same writer says nothing, only that it was a city of the tribe of Judah: and Makkedah; see Jos 10:10 ; it was a royal city, Jos 12:16 ; sixteen cities with their villages; and is the exact number of them, as before enumerated. (x) De loc. Heb. fol. 89. F.
