Gederothaim

Gederothaim is a town named once in scripture, in the catalogue of cities given to Judah in the lowland plain.

A Town in Judah's Lowland Allotment

The town appears at the close of one stretch of Judah's tribal list: "and Shaaraim, and Adithaim, and Gederah, and Gederothaim; fourteen cities with their villages" (Jos 15:36). The name stands alongside Gederah in the same verse, and the totaling phrase "fourteen cities with their villages" gathers the cluster as a unit within Judah's inheritance. The town is otherwise unattested in the Hebrew scriptures; its sole biblical role is its place in this allotment.
