(27) Bethel . . . South Ramoth . . . Yattir.--Here follows an enumeration of the cities of Judah to whom David sent, most of which have been identified. Bethel--evidently not the well known place of that name, but Bethuel or Bethul in the tribe of Simeon. The LXX. read here Baithsour. South Ramoth, i.e., Ramah of the South. Shimei, who was over David's vineyards, was most likely a native of this town (1Chronicles 27:27). The place has not been identified. Yattir--the present Attir in the southern part of Judah. Its ruins are still visible.

Verse 27. - Bethel cannot be the famous city of that name, but is probably the Bethul of Joshua 19:4, where it is mentioned as lying near Hormah and Ziklag. South Ramoth. Hebrew, "Ramoth-Negeb," called Ramath-Negeb in Joshua 19:8. Like Bethul, it was a Simeonite village. Jattir belonged to Judah (Joshua 15:48), and was one of the cities assigned to the priests (Joshua 21:14).
