This ethnic or geographical designation appears in 1 Chronicles 27:28, identifying an official in David's administration. The gentilicial form indicates origin from the city Geder (see H1445), though scholars debate whether it refers to that conquest-list city or to Gederah in Judah. The Greek Septuagint readings (Gedoreiths, Geddoriths) reflect uncertainty about the underlying place name. Such geographical identifiers were common in administrative lists, helping distinguish individuals with identical personal names—essential in royal bureaucracies.
