Barnes' Notes on the Bible

In the low plains - Rather, "in the Shephelah," the proper name of the low tract between the hill country of Judaea and the Mediterranean.

Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament

As to the שׁפלה, see on Joshua 15:33. הגּדרי, he who was born in Geder, not Gedera, for which we should expect הגּדרתי (1 Chronicles 12:4), although the situation of Gedera, south-east from Jabne (see on Joshua 12:4), appears to suit better than that of גּדר or גּדור in the hill country of Judah; see Joshua 12:13 and Joshua 15:58.

Geneva Study Bible

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

28. olive trees and the sycamore trees . in the low plains-that is, the Shephela, the rich, low-lying ground between the Mediterranean and the mountains of Judah.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

27:16-34 The officers of the court, or the rulers of the king's substance, had the oversight and charge of the king's tillage, his vineyards, his herds, his flocks, which formed the wealth of eastern kings. Much of the wisdom of princes is seen in the choice of their ministry, and common persons show it in the choice of their advisers. David, though he had all these about him, preferred the word of God before them all. Thy testimonies are my delight and my counsellors.

And over the olive trees and the sycamore trees that were in the low plains was Baalhanan the Gederite: and over the cellars of oil was Joash:

And over 1Ki 4:7

the sycamore trees. The Hebrew shikmin, Syriac shekmo, and Arabic jummeez, is the (), or sycomore, of the Greeks, so called from () a fig-tree, and () a mulberry tree, because it resembles the latter in its leaves, and the former in its fruits. `The sycamore,' say Mr. Norded, `is of the height of a beech, and bears its fruit in a manner quite different from other trees: it has them on the trunk itself, which shoots out little sprigs, in form of grape stalks, at the end of which grow the fruit close to one another, almost like a cluster of grapes. The tree is always green, and bears fruit several times in the year, without observing any certain seasons; for I have seen some sycamores that have given fruit two months after others. The fruit has the figure and smell of real figs, but is inferior to them in the taste, having a disgusting sweetness. Its colour is a yellow, inclining to an ochre, shadowed by a flesh colour. In the inside it resembles the common figs, excepting that it has a blackish colouring with yellow spots. This sort of tree is pretty common in Egypt; the people, for the greater part, live on its fruit, and think themselves well regaled when they have a piece of bread, a couple of sycamore figs, and a pitcher of water.' 1Ki 20:27

1 Chronicles Chapter 27 Verse 28
