Baalah, etc.] Baalah was given to the tribe of Simeon, (<061903>Joshua 19:3); for Baalah is the same with Balah there, as it is with Bilba, (<130429>1 Chronicles 4:29); though according to the Jerusalem Talmud f331 it is the same with Baalah, given to the tribe of Dan, (<061944>Joshua 19:44); and was one of those places whose houses were in Judah and their fields in Dan; and Azem was also given to the tribe of Simeon, (<061903>Joshua 19:3); it is the same with Ezem, (<130429>1 Chronicles 4:29); and Iim, of which we read nowhere else.
