Shaaraim, Adithaim, and Gederah (or Gederothaim): There are two ways to interpret the names Gederah and Gederothaim.
These names refer to two different places. For example:
Gederah and Gederothaim (GW) (GW, ESV, NASB, RSV, NABRE, NJPS, GNT, NLT, CEV, KJV)
These names refer to one place that has two different names. For example, the NIV says:
Gederah (or Gederothaim) (BSB, NIV, NET, NCV)
It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1). This agrees with the Hebrew text and is followed by most English versions.15:36 If Gederah and Gederothaim are two names for the same place, then the list in this paragraph comes to a total of fourteen towns.
fourteen cities, along with their villages.
In all there were fourteen towns, and there were villages that surrounded them.
The number of these towns was fourteen (14), with the villages that were near them.
fourteen cities, along with their villages: The list of town names in verses 15:33–36 adds up to fifteen towns. It is not clear why the author says fourteen. It is possible that one of the towns was a small settlement that did not have villages attached to it. It is recommended that you translate this as fourteen.
Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:
In all there were fourteen towns together with the villages that surrounded them
The number of towns was fourteen, and there were villages that were near them
