Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
Bethel - i. e. Bethuel Ch1 4:30, quite in the south near Beer-sheba, Hormah, and Ziklag; or Bethul Jos 19:4, one of the cities of the Simeonites.

South Ramoth - Rather, "Ramoth of the South country" Sa1 27:10; Sa1 30:1, Sa1 30:14, so-called to distinguish it from Ramoth-Gilead, one of the Simeonite cities Jos 19:8. Shimei, the Ramathite Ch1 27:27, who was over David's vineyards, was evidently a native of this Ramath. See below Sa1 30:28.

Jattir - "In the mountains" of Judah, and one of the priests' cities, is identified with 'Attir, ten miles south of Hebron.
