John Gill Commentary Joshua 15:27

"and Hazar-gaddah, and Heshmon, and Beth-pelet," — Joshua 15:27 (ASV)

And Hazargaddah
The first of these, it is probable, is the same, Jerom ^F7 calls Gadda, in the tribe of Judah, which was in his day a village in the extreme borders of Daroma to the east, hanging over the dead sea;

and Heshmon
is met with nowhere else;

and Bethpalet
is in (Nehemiah 11:26) , where it is called Bethphelet.
