Contextual Overview
24The descendants of Simeon: Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul. 25The sons of Shaul: Shallum, Mibsam, and Mishma. 26The sons of Mishma: Hammuel, Zaccur, and Shimei. 27Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brothers did not have many children, so their whole clan did not become as numerous as the sons of Judah. 28They lived in Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar-shual, 29Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad, 30Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag, 31Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susim, Beth-biri, and Shaaraim. These were their cities until the reign of David. 32And their villages were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan-five towns- 33and all their surrounding villages as far as Baal. These were their settlements, and they kept a genealogical record:
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they went to the entrance of Gedor,.... There was a city of this name in the tribe of Judah, 1 Chronicles 4:18 but this seems to be further off, and perhaps is the same with Gedaris, mentioned by Strabo l along with Azotus and Askelon, cities that belonged to the Philistines; since it was inhabited by the posterity of Ham, of whom the Philistines were, as in the following verse:
even unto the east side of the valley; which was near to Gedor, and a suitable place:
to seek pasture for their flocks; their sheep and goats.
l Geograph. l. 16. p. 522.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Gedor - Rather read, “Gerar” (Septuagint) a fertile district Genesis 26:6-12; 2 Chronicles 14:14-15 in Philistine country.
