Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

And Hazargaddah,.... The first of these, it is probable, is the same, Jerom (g) calls Gadda, in the tribe of Judah, which was in his day a village in the extreme borders of Daroma to the east, hanging over the dead sea:
and Heshmon is met with nowhere else:
and Bethpalet is in Nehemiah 11:26, where it is called Bethphelet.
(g) Ut supra, (De loc. Hebrews.) fol. 92. B.

Hazar-gaddah, Heshmon, and Beth-palet have not yet been identified. The last of the three is mentioned again in Nehemiah 11:26, by the side of Molada, as still inhabited by Judaeans.
