Geder
GEDER
The word signifies a wall, inclosure, fortified place; as do also the two names following, which are derived from it. Geder itself was an ancient Canaanitish place, in the plain of Judah, Jos 12:13, and was probably the same with the following Gederah.

Geder
(Heb. id. , Sept. ), a name signifying a wall (e.g. of a court, garden, sheepfold, etc., Proverbs 24, 31; Eze 42:10), hence an enclosed or fortified place, and thus the basis of several names of castellated towns (e.g. Gederah, Gedor, Gadara, Gederoth, etc.); used once only (Jos 12:13) in this simple form as that of one of the thirty- one ancient royal towns of the Canaanites, whose kings were defeated by Joshua. It is mentioned between Debir and Hormah; but, as the localities in that list are not strictly in geographical order, it may be identified with the GEDOR SEE GEDOR (q.v.) in the mountains of Judah (Jos 15:58), and with the BETH-GADER SEE BETH-GADER (q.v.) of 1Ch 2:51. The notices of Schwarz (Palest. pages 86, 104) are quite confused.

Geder
GEDER.An unidentified Canaanitish town, whose king was amongst those conquered by Joshua (Jos 12:13 only). It is very probably identical with Beth-gader of 1Ch 2:51. In 1Ch 27:28 Baal-hanan, who had charge of Davids olives and sycomores, is called the Gederite, which may be a gentilic name derived from Geder, although some prefer to derive it from Gederah (wh. see).
