Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Luke 1:65

All the hill country of Judæa. — The district so designated included the mountain plateau to the south of Jerusalem, which reaches its highest point at Hebron. (See Note on Luke 1:39.) The whole verse describes the gradual spread of the report of the events from the immediate neighbourhood to the wider district of which it formed a part.
