Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Chronicles 8:12
The sons of Elpaal; Eber, and Misham, and Shamed, who built Ono, and Lod, with the towns thereof:
12. Ono, and Lod ] Ezr 2:33; Neh 7:37; Neh 11:35. The two places were evidently well-known in post-exilic times, and were doubtless near together. Lod is the Lydda of the N.T. (Act 9:32). Targ. adds, which the sons of Israel laid waste and burnt with fire, when they made war in Gibeah with the tribe of Benjamin.

The sons of Elpaal; Eber, and Misham, and Shamed,…. Besides those in 1Ch 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, Ne 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 Ac 9:32.

(12) Shamer, or Shemer, occurred in 1Ch. 7:34 as a clan of Asher.
Who built.Ono and Lod. . . .Literally, he built Ono and Lod and her daughters. The clause is a parenthesis referring to Shemer.
Ono, now Kefr Auna, recurs in Ezr. 2:33, Neh. 7:37; Neh. 11:35, but is not found elsewhere in the Old Testament. It is always coupled with Lod, and must have been near it.
Lod, the Lydda of Act. 9:32, is now the village of Ludd, north of Ramleh, between Jaffa and Jerusalem.

Ono: Ono is stated by Reland to have been three miles from Lydda. Ezr 2:33, Neh 6:2, Neh 7:37, Neh 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.
