Ge-harashim

Ge-harashim was a heavily wooded valley near Lod and Ono. Joab, a member of the tribe of Judah, settled there. His descendants were craftsmen, and they named the valley Ge-harashim, meaning "valley of craftsmen," after their trade (1 Chronicles 4:14). In the fifth century BC, people from the tribe of Benjamin settled in the area again (see Nehemiah 11:35, where it is called the “Valley of the Craftsmen“).
