(29) Rachal.--The name Rachal never occurs again, and is quite unknown. Here the LXX., instead of Rachal, have five different names--Ged, Kimath, Saphek, Themath, Karmel. No satisfactory explanation has been suggested for this strange addition; three of them are unknown, and the other two--Gad (Gath) and Carmel--places we should certainly not expect to meet in this catalogue.

The cities of the Jerahmeelites and Kenites.--These places were situated in the south of Judah; they cannot be traced.

Verse 29. - Rachal. Rather Racal, unknown, The supposition that it may be Camel is untenable. The Jerahmeelites; see on 1 Samuel 27:10, as also for the Kenites.
