the Ramathite The well-known Ramah was in Benjamin, but there was also a Ramah (or Ramoth) of the South (Joshua 19:8; 1 Samuel 30:27) from which the epithet "Ramathite" might be derived.

the Shiphmite The adjective is probably derived from "Siphmoth" (1 Samuel 30:28), the name of a place in the south of Judah. We should read either "Siphmite" here, or "Shiphmoth" in 1 Sam.
