Contextual Overview

1 And Roboam came to Jerusalem, and called together all the house of Juda and of Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men and warriors, to fight against Israel, and to bring back his kingdom to him. 2 And the word of the Lord came to Semeias the man of God, saying: 3 Speak to Roboam the son of Solomon the king of Juda, and to all Israel, in Juda and Benjamin: 4 Thus saith the Lord: You shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: let every man return to his own house, for by my will this thing has been done. And when they heard the word of the Lord, they returned, and did not go against Jeroboam, 5 And Roboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built walled cities in Juda. 6 And he built Bethlehem, and Etam, and Thecue, 7 And Bethsur, and Socho, and Odollam, 8 And Geth, and Maresa, and Ziph, 9 And Aduram, and Lachis, and Azecha, 10 Saraa also, and Aialon, and Hebron, which are in Juda and Benjamin, well fenced cities.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Gath,.... Which cannot be that Gath which was one of the principalities of the Philistines, but a city in the tribe of Judah; though of it we nowhere else read; unless this is the same with Moreshethgath, Micah 1:14, which is probable, since it follows:

and Mareshah; the birth place of Micah the prophet, Micah 1:1,

and Ziph; there were two cities of this name in the tribe of Judah, Joshua 15:24.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For Gath, see Joshua 13:3 note. Its native king, Achish 1 Kings 2:39, is to he regarded, not as an independent monarch, but as one of the many vassal-kings over whom Solomon reigned 2 Chronicles 9:23. For Mareshah, see Joshua 15:44, for Ziph, Joshua 15:55.
