"And Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities with their villages:"
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And Keilah,.... The first of these is a well known city, which David saved from the hands of the Philistines, Sa1 23:1 , &c. In Jerom's time it was a
little village to the east of Eleutheropolis, about eight miles from it, as you go to Hebron; in which was shown the sepulchre of the Prophet Habakkuk (b). And Achzib is said to be on the borders of Asher, Jos 19:29 , and is supposed the same with Chezib, Gen 38:5 ; and the Ecdippa of Josephus and others, and now called Zib; See Gill on Mic 1:14 , and Mareshah; Jerom says (c), only the ruins of it were to be seen two miles from Eleutheropolis: nine cities with their villages; which is just their number. (b) De loc. Heb. fol. 90. A. (c) lbid. fol. 93. E.
