Geba   1Ch 8:6; Jos 18:24; Jos 21:17; 1Sa 13:3
Alemeth   Almon and Alemeth having the same signification, are perfectly interchangeable. Jos 21:18; Almon.
Anathoth   1Ki 2:26; Isa 10:30; Jer 1:1; Jer 11:23; Jer 37:12
thirteen cities   Here there are only eleven enumerated; but two more are added in the book of Joshua, Juttah and Gibeon , which make thirteen. None of the versions give the full number of names, though they all give the whole sum of thirteen; and it is probable that these two cities had been destroyed and lay in ruins when this book was written, and hence were not enumerated.
