(60) "Gibeon and her pastures" is omitted; probably an oversight, due to the similarity of sound and form between Gibeon and Geba. Alemeth and Almon are each valid formations, and perhaps represent an older and younger name of the place.

Thirteen cities.--The list in its present shape contains eleven. This proves that Juttah and Gibeon should be restored to the text.
