2 Chronicles 14:13

Verse 13

Genesis 20:1; Genesis 26:1. It is probable that Mr. Williams discovered the site of this ancient city in the ruins el Gerar, some three hours south of Gaza, situated in a wady of the same name; but this identification has not yet been confirmed by more recent exploration. It was a nomadic region, and, lying on the borders of the desert, it would be likely to abound in cattle, sheep, and camels. 2 Chronicles 14:15.
