Commentary on 2 Samuel 24:6

Theological / Devotional

To Gilead. Gilead lay to the southeast of the Sea of Galilee and included Gad and Manasseh.

Tahtim-hodshi. Nothing is known of this land and nothing whatsoever can be made of this name. One of the recensions of the LXX reads “Kadesh in the land of the Hittites.”

Dan-jaan. This is the only place where the name “Dan” appears with the suffix “jaan.” There is no question that “Dan” is meant, since it is twice referred to (vs. 2, 15) and since at this point in the description a place at the extreme northern limit, in the vicinity of Sidon, would be in order (see Joshua 19:47; Judges 18:27-29).

Zidon. Although Sidon was nominally within the tribe of Asher, it does not appear ever to have been possessed by the Asherites (Judges 1:31, 32).
