The king of Debir, one,.... The same with Kirjathsepher, of which place; see Gill on Jos 10:38,
the king of Geder, one: Jerom (h) seems to confound this with the tower of Eder, beyond which Jacob pitched his tent, Gen 35:21; and he speaks of a Gaddera in the tribe of Judah, in his time a village belonging to the country about Aelia or Jerusalem, and of Gahedur in the tribe of Judah, a large village, ten miles from Diospolis or Lydda, as you go to Eleutheropolis: it seems to be the same with Gederah, Jos 15:36, or Gedor, Jos 15:58.

The Pulpit Commentary 1880 · Public Domain The king of Geder. Perhaps the same as Gederah…
The king of Geder. Perhaps the same as Gederah in Jos_15:36. If so, it is the Gedor of the Onomasticon, ten miles from Beit-Jibrin, or Eleutheropolis, now Jedireh. Conder, however, with whom Vandevelde seems to agree, places Geder in the mountain region, and identifies it with Gedor (Jos_15:58) and the modern Jedur, in the Hebron mountain. So Keil and Delitzsch, Robinson, and others. The Gedor 1Ch_4:39 may be the same place. It is described as on the east side of the "gai," or ravine, but no clearer indication of the place is given. It is, however, unlikely that the Simeonites would have found the children of tiara undisturbed in the mountains of Hebron in the reign of Hezekiah (see vers. 40, 41). The LXX reads Gerar, and this is very probably the true reading. There was a "Nahal," or winter torrent, there, (in Gen_26:17, Gen_26:19) and therefore possibly a "gal." The whole passage in 1 Chronicles should be consulted.
