Upon the south of the Cherethites - Calmet and others maintain, that the kerethi , which, without the points, might be read Creti, were not only at this time Philistines, but that they were aborigines of Crete, from which they had their name Cherethites or Cretans, and are those of whom Zephaniah speaks, Zephaniah 2:5 : Wo to the inhabitants of the sea-coasts, the nation of the Cherethites. And by Ezekiel, Ezekiel 25:16 : Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and will cut off the Cherethim. In II Samuel 15:18 we find that the Cherethites formed a part of David' s guards.
South of Caleb - Somewhere about Kirjath-arba, or Hebron, and Kirjath-sepher; these being in the possession of Caleb and his descendants.
