Where is Gedor in the Bible?
Gedor was a region in ancient Judah, likely located about seven miles north of Hebron in the hill country near Jerusalem. The name appears in the Bible primarily in connection with the Simeonites, who traveled to Gedor during the reign of King Hezekiah to find pasture for their flocks. The region is also mentioned in relation to Benjamites, including the sons of Jeroham of Gedor, who joined David at Ziklag. Modern scholars generally identify Gedor with the archaeological site of Khirbet Jedur in the Judean hills, though the exact boundaries of this pastoral region remain somewhat uncertain.
