Gill's Notes on the Bible

Helkath with her suburbs,.... :-; the same with Hukok in 1 Chronicles 6:75;

and Rehob with her suburbs, four cities; 1 Chronicles 6:75- :.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Compare Joshua 19:18, etc. Of the cities of the Gershonites, for Beesh-terah read (Beeshterah.) The name is a contraction of Beth-Ashterah (“house of Ashterah”) and the city is undoubtedly the Ashtaroth or Astaroth of Og Joshua 12:4; Deu 1:4; 1 Chronicles 6:71.
