And to [them] which [were] in Aroer, etc.] Not Aroer in the tribe of Gad beyond Jordan, where David is never said to be, but some city of this name in the tribe of Judah; the Greek version of (<061522>Joshua 15:22), instead of Adadah, has Arouel: and to [them] which [were] in Siphmoth; which very probably was in the tribe of Judah, though nowhere else mentioned: and to [them] which [were] in Eshtemoa; a Levitical city given to the Levites by the children of Judah, (<062114>Joshua 21:14).
