And all their villages that were round about the same cities, unto Baal, etc.] The same with Baalathbeer, (<061908>Joshua 19:8) these were their habitations, and their genealogy; as before described, until the times of David. Ver. 34-37. And Meshobab, and Jamlech, etc.] These, with those that follow to the end of (<130437>1 Chronicles 4:37) were famous men in the tribe of Simeon, of rank and dignity, and eminent for courage and valour, as the latter part of the chapter testifies, though they are nowhere else taken notice of. Jamlech, as Fabritius f34 observes, is not very different from Jamblichus, the name of a famous Platonic philosopher.
