Joshua 19:5

“And Ziklag, etc.] Another of the cities of Judah, (see Gill on “<061531>Joshua 15:31”); and Bethmarcaboth, and Hazarsusah; or Hazarsusim, as in (<130431>1 Chronicles 4:31); the one signifies a chariot house, and the other a court or stable for horses, which made Bochart conjecture f426, that they were places where Solomon kept his chariots and horses; but it should be observed that these were the names by which these places went in the times of the old Canaanites; and seem to me rather where some of their kings had their horses and chariots; or rather where there were temples dedicated to the horses and chariots of the sun; (see <122311>2 Kings 23:11).”

“The inheritance of Simeon was taken out of the portion of Judah, which proved on experience to be larger than the numbers of that tribe required. The Simeonite territory is described by its towns, of which fourteen were in the Negeb, and four others Joshua 19:7 partly in the Negeb and partly in “the valley.” On the narrow confines here assigned to Simeon, and its insignificant position altogether among the Twelve tribes, see Deuteronomy 33:6 note. Joshua 19:6 Thirteen - Fourteen names have been given. The error is probably due to the use of letters for numbers, which has led to many similar mistakes in other places (see Joshua 15:32). return to 'Top of Page'”
