Commentary on 1 Chronicles 4:19

Theological / Devotional

Keilah. A town in the Shephelah (Joshua 15:44) rescued by David from the Philistines (1 Sam. 23). It is now Khirbet Qila, 8 mi. (12.6 km.) northwest of Hebron.

Eshtemoa. Verse 17 states that Ishbah was the father of Eshtemoa. Possibly this Eshtemoa, the Maachathite, is not the same as the former.

The Maachathite. The Maachathites were the people of a small kingdom to the northeast of Palestine (Deut. 3:14; Joshua 12:5 ; 13:11).
