SCRIPTURE

"To them that were in Beth-el, and to them that were in Ramoth of the South, and to them that were in Jattir," — 1 Samuel 30:27 (ASV)

To [them] which [were] in Bethel
One part of the spoil was sent to them; not to those in Bethel, in the tribe of Benjamin, but in Kirjathjearim, called Bethel, or the house of God, because the ark was there, see (1 Samuel 7:1) (10:3) ; moreover, this place was also called Baalah, which some think is referred to here, see (Joshua 15:9) ;

and to [them] which [were] in south Ramoth ;
a city of the tribe of Simeon, which lay within the lot of Judah; of which see (Joshua 19:8) ;

and to [them] which [were] in Jattir ;
a city of the tribe of Judah, (See Gill on Joshua 15:48).
