Gederoth
Gederoth
(Heb. Gederoth’, , fortresses or sheep-cotes SEE GEDER; in Chron. with the art.; Sept. v.r. in Chron. , etc.; Vulg. Gideroth, Gederoth), a town in the “valley” of Judah (Jos 15:41, where it is mentioned between Kithlish and Bethdagon); one of those captured by the Philistines from Ahaz (1Ch 28:18). It cannot be identical with the Gederah or Gederothaim (q.v.) of Judah (which lay in a different group), nor yet with either Geder or Gedor (which were in the mountains). The associated names require a position “in the actual plain from north to south between the hilly region and the Philistine coast” (Keil, on Joshua ad loc.); perhaps at the modern Beit-Tima, marked on Van de Velde’s Map as 6 miles east of Ascalon.

Gederoth
gede-roth, ge-deroth (, gedheroth): A town in the Shephelah of Judah, named with Kithlish, Beth-dagon, Naamah and Makkedah (Jos 15:41). It is mentioned along with Bethshemesh and Aijalon as taken by the Philistines in the reign of Ahaz (2Ch 28:18). It possibly corresponds with the Kidron of 1 Macc 15:39, 41; 16:9. Eusebius, Onomasticon places a very large village named Gedrom 10 Roman miles from Lydda on the road to Eleutheropolis. This points to Katrah, Southeast of Yebnah.
