"These were the potters, and the inhabitants of Netaim and Gederah: there they dwelt with the king for his work." — 1 Chronicles 4:23 (ASV)
Among plants and hedges - Rather, “in Netaim and Gederah” (Joshua 15:36).
With the king - Or, probably, “on the king’s property.” Both David and several of the later kings had large territorial possessions in various parts of Judea (1 Chronicles 27:25, 31; 2 Chronicles 26:10; 2 Chronicles 27:4; 2 Chronicles 32:28–29).
