John Gill Commentary Joshua 12:13

"the king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one;" — Joshua 12:13 (ASV)

The king of Debir, one
The same with Kirjathsepher, of which place, (See Gill on Joshua 10:38);

the king of Geder, one :
Jerom ^F8 seems to confound this with the tower of Eder, beyond which Jacob pitched his tent, (Genesis 35:21) ; and he speaks of a Gaddera in the tribe of Judah, in his time a village belonging to the country about Aelia or Jerusalem, and of Gahedur in the tribe of Judah, a large village, ten miles from Diospolis or Lydda, as you go to Eleutheropolis: it seems to be the same with Gederah, (Joshua 15:36) , or Gedor, (Joshua 15:58) .
