Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
Salchah - Compare Jos 12:5; Ch1 5:11, where it is named as belonging to the tribe of Gad. It lies seven hours' journey to the southeast of Bostra or Bozrah of Moab. As the eastern border city of the kingdom of Bashan it was no doubt strongly fortified.

Edrei - Compare Num 21:33 note.
