Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary


GEDERAH.—AV [Note: Authorized Version.] of 1Ch_4:23 b reads, ‘Those that dwell among plants (RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] ‘plantations’) and hedges,’ but RV [Note: Revised Version.] gives ‘the inhabitants of Netaim and Gederah,’ and this is probably the correct rendering. In that case the Gederah referred to would probably be the city of that name located by Jos_15:36 in the Shephçlah, the modern Jedireh and the Gedour of Eusebius. The gentilic name Gederathite occurs in 1Ch_12:4.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


("the sheepcote".) A town of Judah in the shephelah, or hills between the mountains and plain (Jos_15:36). Near the "valley of the terebinth", near Azekah and Socoh. (See ELAH.) GEDEROTH "sheepcotes", and GEDEROTHAIM "two sheepcotes", were in the same region (Jos_15:41).
Fausset's Bible Dictionary
By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.


Gede'rah. (a sheepfold). A town of Judah in the Shefelah, or lowland country, Jos_15:36, apparently in its eastern part. No town bearing this name has, however, been yet discovered in this hitherto little-explored district.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


Gede?rah, a city in the plain of Judah (Jos_15:36), probably the same with the preceding Geder, and with Bethgader of 1Ch_2:51. It seems to have belonged to the family of Caleb.

Gederah
(Heb. with the article hag-Gederah', הִגְּדֵרָה, the fortress or sheep-cote SEE GEDER; Sept. Γαδηρα), a town in the Shephelah or plain of Judah (Jos_15:36, where it is mentioned Uetween Adithaim and Gederothaim [q.v.]). According to Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s.v. Γάδειρα, Gaddera), it was still a village (Γέδορα, Gadora) near Jerusalem "around the Terebinth," an expression which Raumur (Palast. page 193) interprets of the valley of Elah or the terebinth (1Sa_17:1); although Keil (on Joshua, ad loc.) shows that it means the wood of Mamre, near Hebron, and Reland had pointed out that this was in the mountains and not the lowlands of Judah (Palest. page 802). Van de Velde has identified the site with that of "Gheterah or Ghederah, a village on the south banks of wady Surar, near the high road from Ramleh to Ghuzzeh" (Memoir, page 313); a position exactly agreeing with that of the Cedes (Κέδους, Jerome Gedrus), described by Eusebius (Ononast. s.v. Γεδούρ, Jerome Gaedur) as a very large village ten miles from Diospolis (Lydda) towards Eleutheropolis (Beit-Jibrin). The inhabitants seem to be those designated as Gederites (q.v.) in 1Ch_27:28 (comp. 4:23, "hedges").
