In the preceding verse it is said that Hushim and Baara were his wives;' and here it is said, he begat of Hodesh his wife, &c.; and then in the eleventh verse, his children by Hushim are mentioned, but not a word of Baara. It is probable, therefore, that Hodesh was another name for Baara; and this is asserted by the Targumist: And he begat of Baara, that is, Chodesh, his wife, so called beCause he espoused her anew.'

JOSEPHUS says it was a village, not yielding to a city in greatness; and that it was one of three toparchies dismembered from Samaria, and given to the Jews. It was destroyed by Cestius in the Jewish war, and, when rebuilt, was called Diospolis. It is now called Londd, and is a poor village, situated in a fine plain about a league to the E.N.E. of Ramla. 13 Shema. ver.21, Shimhi. the fathers. ch.2. 49,50,52.-4.4. Aijalon.
