What do historical commentaries say?

John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“And Zorah, etc.] The same with Zoreah, (<061533>Joshua 15:33), and Aijalon; there was a city of the tribe of Dan of this name, in the valley of which the moon stood still in the times of Joshua, (<061012>Joshua 10:12 19:42), but whether the same with this, and now belonging to Judah, or another of the same name, is not certain: and Hebron; a city in the mountainous part of Judah, and a city of refuge, about twenty miles from Jerusalem, (<061554>Joshua 15:54 20:7), which are in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities; as they were now made by Rehoboam.”

Barnes' Notes
Albert Barnes (1798–1870) · Notes on the Whole Bible · 19th-century historical commentary
“The site of Adoraim is uncertain. For Lachish, see Joshua 10:3; Azekah, Joshua 10:10; Zorah, Joshua 15:33; Aijalon, Joshua 10:12; Hebron, Joshua 14:15. No one of the cities was really within the limits of the tribe of Benjamin. The writer uses the phrase “Judah and Benjamin” merely as the common designation of the southern kingdom (compare 2 Chronicles 11:12 and 2 Chronicles 11:23). return to 'Top of Page'”
