Gill's Notes on the Bible

The son of Hesed in Aruboth,.... Which seems to have been in the tribe of Judah by the places that follow:

to him [pertained] Sochoh; there were two places of this name in that tribe, Joshua 15:35;

and all the land of Hepher: there was an Hepher in the land of Canaan, which was a royal city in the times of the Canaanites, Joshua 12:17; and there was an Hepher, the name of a man, a descendant of Judah, to whom, very probably, this land belonged, 1 Chronicles 4:6; unless it can be thought to be the portion of land given to the daughters of Hepher, Joshua 17:3.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Sochoh - See Joshua 15:35.
