And upon Kerioth, etc.] Which once belonged to the tribe of Judah, (<061525>Joshua 15:25); from this place Judas Iscariot is by some thought to have his name; as if it was “Ish Kerioth”, “a man of Kerioth”. Grotius takes it to be the Goiratha of Ptolemy: and upon Bozrah; not in Idumea, but in Moab; the same with Bezer, (<062136>Joshua 21:36); and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, for and near; all the rest of the cities not named, whether nearer or farther off from Aroer.
