The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and had taken Bethshemesh, and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho with the villages thereof, and Timnah with the villages thereof, Gimzo also and the villages thereof: and they dwelt there. |

Gederoth--on the Philistine frontier (Jos 15:41).
Shocho--or Socoh (Jos 15:35), now Shuweikeh, a town in the Valley of Judah (see on Sa1 17:1).
Gimzo--now Jimza, a little east of Ludd (Lydda) [ROBINSON]. All these disasters, by which the "Lord brought Judah low," were because of Ahaz, king of Israel (Judah), see Ch2 21:2; Ch2 24:16; Ch2 28:27, who made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the Lord. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| Philistia also, eager to retaliate the blows she had received from Uzziah Ch2 26:6, seized her opportunity. Ajalon and Shocho were among the cities fortified by Rehoboam Ch2 11:7, Ch2 11:10; Beth-shemesh Jos 15:10 was famous as the scene of Amaziah's defeat Ch2 25:21. Gimzo, which is not elsewhere mentioned in Scripture has been probably identified with the modern Jimzu, a large village about 2 12 miles from Ludd (the ancient Lydda). |

10 And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim, which is Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Bethshemesh, and passed on to Timnah:
