Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

the father of Madmannah: 1 Chronicles 2:42, Madmannah was a city situated in the southern part of Judah, and towards Gaza, according to Eusebius. Joshua 15:31, Isaiah 10:31, Madmenah

Gibea: It is probable this was not Gibeah of Benjamin, and the royal residence of Saul, but Gibeah in the tribe of Judah, to which all these other cities belonged. Joshua 15:57, 2 Samuel 21:6, Gibeah

Reciprocal: Joshua 15:17 - Achsah 1 Chronicles 8:13 - the fathers

Gill's Notes on the Bible

She bare also Shaaph the father of Madmannah,.... Prince of a place so called, in the tribe of Judah, Joshua 15:31

Sheva the father of Machbenah, and the father of Gibeah; prince of two cities of those names in the same tribe; of the latter see Joshua 15:57,

and the daughter of Caleb was Achsah; Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, had a daughter of this name, but neither he nor she are here meant, Joshua 15:16 but by whom Caleb, the son of Hezron, had this daughter, is not said; perhaps by Maachah his concubine last mentioned.
