Who this is
Gederoth was a town in the Shephelah, the low hill country of Judah (Josh. 15:41). During the reign of Ahaz it was one of several Judean towns seized by the Philistines while Judah was weakened by war with Israel and Syria (2 Chr. 28:18). Its name, meaning sheepfolds, suggests it began as a pastoral settlement.
