Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Ono: Ono is stated by Reland to have been three miles from Lydda. Ezra 2:33, Nehemiah 6:2, Nehemiah 7:37, Nehemiah 11:35

Lod: Lod, or Lydda, was situated about four leagues from Joppa, and a day's journey, or about thirty-two miles nw from Jerusalem; and, according to the Antonine Itinerary, twelve miles from Jamnia, eighteen from Eleutheropolis, and twenty two from Bethar. Josephus says it was a village, not yielding to a city in greatness; and that it was one of three toparchies dismembered from Samaria, and given to the Jews. It was destroyed by Cesitus in the Jewish war, and, when rebuilt, was called Diospolis. It is now called Loudd, and is a poor village, situated in a fine plain about a league to the e-ne of Ramia.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The sons of Elpaal; Eber, and Misham, and Shamed,.... Besides those in 1 Chronicles 8:14

who built Ono, and Lod, with the towns thereof; not Shamed, but Elpaal his father, so the Targum; and the Talmudists say o, these were walled cities from the days of Joshua the son of Nun, and were destroyed in the days of the concubine in Gibea, and Elpaal came and rebuilt them; they were inhabited by the Benjaminites, upon their return from the Babylonish captivity, Nehemiah 11:35 they were near to each other; according to a Jewish chronologer p, it was three miles from the one to the other; Lod is the same with Lydda, in Acts 9:32.

o T. Hieros. Megillah, fol. 70. 1. & T. Bab Megillah, fol. 4. 1. So the Targum. p Juchasin, fol. 39. 2.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Chronicles 8:12. Who built Ono, and Lod — The Targum adds, "Which the children of Israel ravaged and burnt with fire, when they made war on the tribe of Benjamin in Gibeah."
