Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]
Eder . 1. Genesis 35:21 ‘And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.’ ’Eder means ‘a flock’; and the phrase Midgal-eder (‘flock-tower,’ cf. Micah 4:8 ) would have been the appellation given to a tower occupied by shepherds for the protection of their flocks against robbers (cf. 2 Kings 18:8 , 2 Chronicles 26:10 ). The tower here mentioned lay between Bethlehem and Hebron (cf. vv. 19, 27). Jerome mentions a Jewish tradition that this Eder was the site of the Temple, but himself prefers to think that it was the spot on which the shepherds received the angels’ message. 2. Joshua 15:21 . The name of one of the towns of Judah ‘in the south,’ close to the Edomite frontier; perhaps Kh. el-‘Adâr , 5 miles S. of Gaza. 3. 1Ch 23:23; 1 Chronicles 24:30 . The name of a Merarite Levite in the days of David. 4. A Benjamite ( 1 Chronicles 8:15 ).

E'der. (a flock).
1. One of the towns of Judah, in the extreme south, and on the borders of Edom. Joshua 15:21. No trace of it has been discovered in modern times.
2. A Levite, of the family of Merari, in the time of David. 1 Chronicles 23:23; 1 Chronicles 24:30.
Fausset's Bible Dictionary [5]

1. A town in S. of Judah, on Edom's border ( Joshua 15:21).
2. A Levite of Merari's family in the time of David ( 1 Chronicles 23:23).

(Hebrews id. עֵדֶר , a flock, as often), the name of a place and also of a man. (See Edar); (See Ader).
1. (Sept. Ε᾿δραίν ,Vat. Ms. omits; Vulg. Eder.) A'' city in the extreme south of Judah, on the Idumaean border, mentioned between Kabzeel and Jagur ( Joshua 15:21); therefore, doubtless, one of those afterwards assigned to Simeon. Schwa z suggests (Palest. page 99) that it may be the same with Arad (See Arad) (q.v.), by a transposition of letters; but this is doubtful. Possibly it was situated on the eminence north of the fountain marked as "water" on Van de Velde's Map, in wady el-Ernez, S.W. of the Dead Sea.
2. (Sept. Ε᾿δέρ Vulg. Eder.) The second named of the three "sons" (i.e. descendants) of Mushi appointed to the Levitical offices in the time of David ( 1 Chronicles 23:23; 1 Chronicles 24:30). B.C. 1013.
