Gerar] Gerar anciently a Citie and Kingdome of the Philistines; whose Kings seeme all to be called Abimelechs; where Abraham, and Isaac, a while lived; both offending in denying their wives, Gen. XX. and XXVI. Isaac leaving the Citie, dwelt in the valley of Gerar. Gen. XXVI. 17. a most fruitful valley, ver. 12. as it were the Granarie of Canaan, when famine was elsewhere in the Land, ver. 1. Here Isaac digged againe the Wells of water, digged by Abraham, and stopped by the Philistines: And he digged others new. After Gerar fell to the tribe of Simeon. And hither, as we see, Asa pursued the Ethiopians: and smote all the Cities round about Gerar.
