Bezer:
Bezer is the same as Bozra, formerly a royal city of Edom. See note on "And Belaª died,ª ° and Jobabª the sonª of Zerahª of Bozrahª ¹ reignedª ° in his stead.¹" {Gen 36:33} + "And on the other sideª ¹ Jordanª by Jerichoª eastward,ª they assignedª °¹ Bezerª in the wildernessª upon the plainª out of the tribeª ¹ of Reuben,ª and Ramothª in Gileadª out of the tribeª ¹ of Gad,ª and Golanª in Bashanª out of the tribeª ¹ of Manasseh.ª" {Jsh 20:8}

Ramoth:
Ramoth was a celebrated city in the mountains of Gilead, placed by Eusebius fifteen miles east from Philadelphia or Ammon, and by Jerome in the neighbourhood of Jabbok, and consequently north of Philadelphia. "And out of the tribeª ¹ of Gad,ª ¹ Ramoth² ¹ in Gileadª with¹ her suburbs,ª [to be]¹ a cityª of refugeª for the slayer;ª ° and Mahanaimª with¹ her suburbs,ª" {Jsh 21:38} + "The son of Geber,ª in Ramothgilead;ª ² to him [pertained] the townsª of Jairª the sonª of Manasseh,ª which¹ [are] in Gilead;ª to him [also pertained] the regionª of Argob,ª which¹ [is] in Bashan,ª threescoreª greatª citiesª with wallsª and brasenª bars:ª" {1Kg 4:13} + "And the kingª of Israelª saidª ° unto¹ his servants,ª Knowª ° ye that¹ Ramoth² in Gilead² ¹ [is] ours, and we¹ [be] still,ª ° [and] takeª °¹ it not out of the handª ¹ of the kingª of Syria?ª ... And he saidª ° unto¹ Jehoshaphat,ª Wilt thou go² °¹ with¹ me to battleª to Ramothgilead?ª ² And Jehoshaphatª saidª ° to¹ the kingª of Israel,ª I [am] as thou² [art], my peopleª as thy people,ª my horsesª as thy horses.ª" {1Kg 22:3-4} + "And out of the tribeª ¹ of Gad;ª ¹ Ramothª in Gileadª with her suburbs,ª and Mahanaimª with her suburbs,ª" {1Ch 6:80}

Golan:
This city gave name to the district of Gaulonitis, now called Djolan, which comprises the plain to south of Djedour or Iturea, and to the west of Haouran. Its southern frontier is the Nahar Aweired, by which it is separated from the district of Erbad, and the Sheriat el Mandhour, which separates it from the district of El Kefarat. On the west it is limited by the territory of Feik, and on the north-west by Djebel Heish, or mount Hermon. "And unto the childrenª of Gershon,ª of the familiesª ¹ of the Levites,ª out of the [other] halfª ¹ tribeª of Manassehª [they gave]¹ Golanª in Bashanª with¹ her suburbs,ª [to be]¹ a cityª of refugeª for the slayer;ª ° and Beeshterahª with¹ her suburbs;ª twoª cities.ª" {Jsh 21:27} + "Unto the sonsª of Gershom² ¹ [were given] out of the familyª ¹ of the halfª tribeª of Manasseh,ª ¹ Golanª in Bashanª with her suburbs,ª and Ashtarothª with her suburbs:ª" {1Ch 6:71}
