- Genesis 35:21
Israel again set out and pitched his tent beyond the Tower of Eder.
Commentary on Genesis 35:212 voices
(Verse 21.) And Israel advanced and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Eder. The Hebrews believe that this place is where the temple was later built, and the tower of Eder signifies the tower of the flock, that is, the congregation and assembly. This is also testified to by the prophet Micah, saying: And you, O cloudy tower of the flock, daughter of Zion (Micah 4:8), and so on. At that time, Jacob set up his tents across the place where the temple was later built.
Jerome· Hebrew Questions on GenesisPatristic
Tower of Edar - Literally, the tower of the flock, and so translated Mic 4:8. It is supposed that this tower was about a mile from Bethlehem, and to have been the place where the angels appeared to the shepherds. The Targum of Jonathan expressly says: “It is the place in which the King Messiah shall be manifested in the end of days.” By the tower of the flock we may understand a place built by the shepherds near to some well, for the convenience of watering their flocks, and keeping watch over them by night.

Commentary on Joshua 15:211 voice
List of the towns of the tribe of Judah. These are arranged in four divisions, according to the natural features of the district; namely,, those of the Negeb or south country Jos 15:21-32; of “the valley,” or “the plain” (“Shephelah”, Jos 15:33-47); of “the mountains” Jos 15:48-60; and of “the wilderness” Jos 15:61-62. Many of the identifications are still conjectural only. Jos 15:21-32. The Negeb was for the most part rocky and arid, and cannot have been at any time very thickly populated.

- 1 Chronicles 24:30
And the sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites, according to their families.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 24:301 voice
The particular account of these establishments is of little use to us now; but, when Ezra published it, it was of great use to direct their church affairs after their return from captivity into the old channel again.
