Gederah, a town in Judah, was the home of Baal-hanan, one of David's overseers, and Jozabad, one of his mighty men.

Where is Gederah in the Bible?

Gederah was a town located in the territory of Judah in ancient Israel. The town appears in the biblical record as the birthplace of two notable figures in King David's court: Baal-hanan, who served as one of David's overseers, and Jozabad, who was counted among David's mighty men. While Gederah is mentioned in the book of Joshua as part of Judah's tribal inheritance, little else is recorded about the town itself in Scripture. The exact location of ancient Gederah in modern-day Israel remains uncertain, though it was situated somewhere within Judah's borders during the period of the Hebrew monarchy.
