Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

In the low plains - Rather, "in the Shephelah," the proper name of the low tract between the hill country of Judaea and the Mediterranean.

olive trees and the sycamore trees . . . in the low plains--that is, the Shephela, the rich, low-lying ground between the Mediterranean and the mountains of Judah.

As to the שׁפלה, see on Joshua 15:33. הגּדרי, he who was born in Geder, not Gedera, for which we should expect הגּדרתי (1-Chronicles 12:4), although the situation of Gedera, south-east from Jabne (see on Joshua 12:4), appears to suit better than that of גּדר or גּדור in the hill country of Judah; see Joshua 12:13 and Joshua 15:58.
