Verse 44
And Keilah ,.... The first of these is a well known city, which David saved from the hands of the Philistines, 1 Samuel 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 F2 De loc. Heb. fol. 90. A. .
And Achzib is said to be on the borders of Asher, Joshua 19:29 , and is supposed the same with Chezib, Genesis 38:5 ; and the Ecdippa of Josephus and others, and now called Zib; See Gill on Micah 1:14 ,
and Mareshah ; Jerom says F3 lbid. fol. 93. E. , only the ruins of it were to be seen two miles from Eleutheropolis:
nine cities with their villages ; which is just their number.
