1 Chronicles 4:39

Verse 39

Whether this Gedor is the same as that in the mountains of Judah, (Joshua 15:58,) which Dr. Robinson identifies with Jedur north of Hebron, is uncertain.

But wherever the place, the Simeonites found there the rich pastures they desired, and did not hesitate to destroy the tents of the peaceful occupants, and to take forcible possession of their fields, as the Danites did in the case of the inhabitants of Laish.
