Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

Bethel - i. e. Bethuel 1Ch 4:30, quite in the south near Beer-sheba, Hormah, and Ziklag; or Bethul Jos 19:4, one of the cities of the Simeonites. South Ramoth - Rather, “Ramoth of the South country” 1Sa 27:10; 1Sa 30:1, 1Sa 30:14, so-called to distinguish it from Ramoth-Gilead, one of the Simeonite cities Jos 19:8. Shimei, the Ramathite 1Ch 27:27, who was over David’s vineyards, was evidently a native of this Ramath. See below 1Sa 30:28. Jattir - “In the mountains” of Judah, and one of the priests’ cities, is identified with ‘Attir, ten miles south of Hebron.

Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
