Contextual Overview

1 Simeon was the second tribe chosen to receive land, and the region for its clans was inside Judah's borders. 2In one region of Simeon's tribal land there were the following thirteen towns with their surrounding villages: Beersheba, Shema, Moladah, Hazar-Shual, Balah, Ezem, Eltolad, Bethul, Hormah, Ziklag, Beth-Marcaboth, Hazar-Susah, Beth-Lebaoth, and Sharuhen. 7 In another region, Simeon had the following four towns with their surrounding villages: Enrimmon, Tachan, Ether, and Ashan. 8 Simeon's land also included all the other towns and villages as far south as Baalath-Beer, which is also called Ramah of the South. 9 Simeon's tribal land was actually inside Judah's territory. Judah had received too much land for the number of people in its tribe, so part of Judah's land was given to Simeon.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Hazarshual,.... :-;

and Balah, and Azem; of these places see Gill "Jos 15:29"; for Balah is the same with Baalah there, and with Bilhah 1 Chronicles 4:29; and Azem with Ezem there.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

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).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Joshua 19:3. Hazar-shual — For this and several of the following places, Joshua 15:32.
