Commentary on 1 Chronicles 4:23

Theological / Devotional

Plants and hedges. These words should probably be left untranslated and be rendered Netaim and Gederah. The latter is mentioned as a place name in Joshua 15:36.

With the king. The meaning seems to be that the potteries at Netaim and Gederah were controlled by the king.
