Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Eltekeh,.... Eltekeh was a city given to the Levites,
Joshua 21:23; and supposed by some to be the same with Eltekon in the tribe of Judah given to the Danites, Joshua 15:59;
and Gibbethon was in the hands of the Philistines in the reign of Asa,
1 Kings 15:21; and in the same place Jerom t calls Gabatha a city of the strangers, or Philistines; and which lie places near Bethlehem in the tribe of Judah;
and Baalath is not the same with Baalah, Joshua 15:29; but the Baalath rebuilt by Solomon, 1 Kings 9:18; called by Josephus u Baleth, and spoken of by him as near to Gazara in the land of the Philistines; of these two last cities, the Talmudists w say that their houses belonged to Judah, and their fields to Dan.
